The Spencer's Wishes Swing True For Life Major League Baseball Players Alumni Baseball Clinic is making a return to Smith's Ballpark in Salt Lake City.
The clinic is free for boys and girls of ages up to 17, giving them the opportunity to receive instruction from former major league baseball players on the same field used by the Salt Lake Bees. The requested minimum age is 8, but if your child understands the game of baseball, an exception will be made. Registration is currently open and limited to the first 300 participants to register.
“Kids get to work in the batting cages and out on the field. The kids really just eat it up and they love to get to know the players,” said Phil Roundy, Vice President of Spencer's Wishes. “If you are an adult and you have children who enjoy baseball or softball, this is the place to bring them.”
The clinic is scheduled to begin at 8:00 am in the morning and will run until the afternoon. Following its conclusion, each child will receive a free slice of pizza and a minimum of two tickets to the evening's Bees game as they take on Sacramento at 6:35.
While the event itself is free, transportation to and from the clinic is the responsibility of the parents/guardian of the children. A waiver must also be signed by the parent or guardian for each child to participate.
