Now YOU can sponsor a Kid with a Mini-Glove and make their First game a "Me-Mauer-able" one at the ballpark!
For just 10 bucks your name will be listed as the sponsor on the certificate given to a young fan who is attending their very first game.
The mini glove and certificate will be a lifelong reminder of that first game and you can become a part by becoming a sponsor.

Thanks to everyone who has sponsored thus far. As you may or may not know, this program is the ONLY funding this club receives, which keeps the club free to our members. If you are a member, please consider stepping up to the plate and contributing. Thank you. -Marty
