Press release:
Would you like to live with the next Ryan Howard or Chase Utley?
The Batavia Muckdogs are again seeking local families to assist in housing players during the 2015 baseball season.
Anyone can help provide lodging for this year's Muckdogs by either providing space or renting a room, apartment, or home. While many host families come back year after year, the team is always looking to add to their list of availabilities for the players.
Host Families play a crucial role in helping young players feel comfortable in a new environment. Many who have hosted players in the past have had incredibly wonderful experiences. However, with players coming and going throughout the season, we have constant needs as far as housing is concerned.
The 2015 season runs from June 19 until Sept. 7 and players typically range from 18-23 years of age.
Anyone in need of more information on becoming a Host Family is invited to contact the Muckdogs’ office at (585) 343-5454 or General Manager Travis Sick at tsick@muckdogs.com. You can also call our housing coordinator Shirley Fanara directly at (585) 356-3411.
The Batavia Muckdogs are the short-season, Class A affiliate of the Miami Marlins and are the last remaining founding member of the New York-Penn League, dating back to 1939. The Batavia Muckdogs are operated by the neighboring Rochester Red Wings.
