The Bridgeport Bluefish and All Kids Dental held a joint press conference at All Kids Dental on Wednesday, February 24 at 3:30 pm to announce their “Kids Run the Ballpark” Essay Competition. Nine children between the ages of 10-13 will be selected to shadow and assist a Bluefish employee on Saturday, April 30, when the Bluefish take on the New Britain Bees at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard. This will be a one- of-a-kind opportunity for young kids to see what it takes to run a baseball team. It will allow them to get up close and personal with the inner workings of the Bluefish day to day operations.
“We are thrilled to partner with All Kids Dental for this special contest,” said Bluefish General Manager Jamie Toole. “The idea originally came to us from a young man named Aiden Blanc, an aspiring sports radio broadcaster from Fairfield County. He reached out to us about assisting our current broadcaster, Mike Mohr, in the radio booth for a game this season. We loved the idea, so we decided to make an entire day out of it and invite even more kids to join the Bluefish staff for the day.” The other available jobs include: general manager, field manager, grounds keeper, public relations/baseball operations, ticket sales, community relations, on-field promotions, stadium operations, and mascot handler.
