Homerun for Hospice
Baseball will be played for the first time at Arnold Anderson Stadium this year when the first annual Brantford Red Sox Alumni game supporting the Stedman Community Hospice takes place on October 3rd.
The charity event has been organized by Brandon Corke, in honor of his father, Jamie Corke, who passed away late last year at Stedman Community Hospice.
Jamie was one of the Intercounty Baseball League’s top 100 players of all-time and a respected baseball umpire. The game will be streamed live and donations are appreciated.
