Dear PJ Parents, 
Did you play baseball growing up? Did a sibling? Or do your children play now? Whether you have a past with baseball (as I do) or not, going to baseball games is not always about the baseball. Sometimes it can mean being part of a community. When you go to any Stormchaser game at Werner Park, you might feel a camaraderie with fellow Omahans as you "root for the home team". But if you show up August 13th - you have an interesting opportunity to celebrate a shared Jewish heritage - whether that's your own, or that of your children - we hope you will join us!

p.s. We know the game may be the edge of nap time... hopefully with the huge discount on ticket prices you might consider coming for the hour or 2 that works for your schedule. We'd love to see you!
