Tuesday night was supposed to be the home opener for the Fresno Grizzlies and thousands of local baseball fans.
Obviously, that is not happening.
But, the Triple-A club will celebrate ballpark activities all day online through the team’s social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook).
Calling it the “At Home Opener,” festivities started at 10 a.m. with fans having a chance to sing the National Anthem, via video. That doubled as a singing contest. The winner will have a chance to perform in real life when the baseball resumes.
When Major League Baseball postponed its March 26 season-opening, the decision trickled down to the minor leagues as well. The Pacific Coast League had an April 9 start date.
For the fifth time in their 23-year history, the Grizzlies are the top affiliate of the World Series champion. Their parent club, the Washington Nationals, hoisted the trophy last season.
A Full Day
The Grizzlies have a full slate of online activities, including a video game simulation of tonight’s scheduled game — the Grizzlies versus the Reno Aces (Arizona’s Triple-A club).
After the virtual national anthem, there will be a virtual first pitch, a noon chicken dance, and a taco cam.
Correction: an earlier version said Reno was San Diego’s top affiliate. It is Arizona.
