This is will be a fun opportunity to honor our service men and women, raise awareness of the PGR and what we do, and enjoy some baseball together.

Well this was fun. We had 21 riders who got to ride onto the Dell Diamond warning track and be in place for the pregame festivities. The PA announcer gave us a big welcome, a wounded warrior threw out the first pitch, Reckless Kelly sang the Anthem, and we rode out after the honor guard retired the colors.

A number of us took advantage of the free tickets and watched a few innings. The Express was ahead when I left, hope it stayed that way!

All went smoothly. Thank you to everyone who came out for this event.
