Batter Up for Stewpot has raised more than $40,000 in the last two years – all contributed to the non-profit agency that serves hundreds
of meals daily. The Media Giants consists of media members from local TV, radio and newspapers as well as former media members from the Jackson-Metro area. They will be coached by Mississippi College head baseball coach Brian Owens. Barbour’s Bombers consists of gubernatorial supporters, family members and state agency employees. Brad Rogers, the Republican nominee for Mayor in Pearl, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
“We got clobbered by the Bombers last year, but the event was a huge success for Stewpot,” said organizer Andy Kanengiser, a Media Giants player. “Batter Up for Stewpot 2009 looks like another homerun at the home of the 2008 Southern League Champions.”
