Finally the rain brings us Pig fans some good news! The workout day is still on but the players will not be on the field working out. The rain put an end to that but instead… both teams will be available for 45 minutes (each team) for fans to obtain autographs. I see this as a much better event than watching a practice.
From the Ironpig’s website:
Gates will still open at 2 p.m. for today’s Workout Day presented by Lehigh Valley Health Network. However, due to the weather, the teams will not be hitting on field but will be signing free autographs on the concouse. Each team will sign for 45 minutes allowing fans to get autographs from the top players in Minor League Baseball’s premier leagues.
“Our fans are so loyal and passionate that we were adamant in hosting a free event for all of the Lehigh Valley and surrounding regions to enjoy,” remarked IronPigs General Manager Kurt Landes. “This is the perfect afternoon to ‘play hooky’ from work and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime intimate opportunity to see these All-Stars up close.”
No tickets are needed to attend this event and all seating is General Admission — granting fans access to the Field Level seating bowl, the Capital BlueCross Lawn and other areas on a first-come, first-serve basis. Gates will open at 2 p.m. and as an added bonus, there is no cost for on-site parking.
All in-park food and beverage locations will be open for the Triple-A All-Star Workout Day. For the safety of our fans, no outside food or beverage is permitted to be brought inside Coca-Cola Park.




KUDOS to the staff for organizing this, but mostly to the players for doing this for the fans!
