If your dream has always been keggling with the Marlins catchers, you have a chance to make it come true.

Catchers John Baker and Mike Rabelo will serve as honorary Player Chairs this Saturday at the Spring Training Basebowl Tournament at Jupiter Lanes at 5 p.m. The event will feature bowlers, including Marlins players and other celebrities, raising funds for local charities through the Florida Marlins Community Foundation.

Tickets are $50 per person or $200 per team of four bowlers. Lane sponsorships are also available for $300. Registration for the event is available at www.marlins.com/community, by calling 305-623-6497 or emailing FMCF@marlins.com.

If you do participate, please let us know how it went.

Baker and Rabelo/Marlins Community Foundation

We can’t get to the bowling event today, and our sons are VERY upset! John Baker was so kind to them at Fan Fest! What a great role model he is for all young boys!
Is there a way we can contribute to the great cause if we can’t attend?

You can contact the Florida Marlins Community Foundation at...

Telephone: (305) 623-6497.

I’m sure they can tell you how to make a contribution.

If money isn’t a major object, I would recommend waiting until May 17 and signing up for dinner on the diamond. It cost a $100 per kid and $200 per adult. While a little pricey given the economic circumstances of the day, I’m told it is a lot of fun. You get to have a picnic dinner in the outfield and a Marlins player will join you and your family for the dinner.

If this sounds like something you would want to do, you can signup here:

Hope that helps.
