TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME.

At Citifield in Flushing Meadow, NY, about 50 children of fallen U.S. service men and women gathered with their families to enjoy a holiday weekend baseball game between the Yankees and the Mets.  The “Snowflake event,” planned and coordinated by the Berkeley College Office of Military and Veterans Affairs, Mitchell Modell, President of Modell’s Sporting Goods, and Micki Sander, Immediate Past Chairman of the Board of Snowball Express, treated the families to a special day that included baseball signings and a meet and greet with the players.
The youngsters met Yankees players Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Andruw Jones, Mariano Rivera, and Alex Rodriguez, as well as team other notables including Michael Kay, Al Leiter, and John Sterling, Yankee announcers; Joe Girardi, Yankee manager; and Kim Jones, Yankee interviewer. In the Mets Press Room they met players Carlos Beltran, Chris Capuano, Dillon Gee, Jason Isringhausen, Daniel Murphy, Jon Niese, Bobby Parnell, Mike Pelfrey, Jose Reyes, and Francisco Rodriguez, and Mookie Wilson, Mets coach. Afterwards the group dined in the MoZone, and watched the 10-inning game from inside Modell’s clubhouse in far right field, next to the Mets’ bullpen (Mets won 3-2).

"I just wanted to drop a quick line and thank you again for such a great time in New York.  Craig and I had a blast and made it home safely.  We have had a lot of company since then and Craig has been telling them all about the trip.   See you in December."
