Bill “Moose” Skowron will be attending Pet Day 2009 on August 14th as the Windy City ThunderBolts take on the Washington Wild Things. He will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the 7:05 PM start time.
“Moose” is a Chicago native and former first basemen, who played for the New York Yankees (‘54-‘62), Los Angeles Dodgers (‘63), Chicago White Sox (‘64-‘67), and California Angels (’67). He was a six time All-Star (‘57, ‘58, ‘59, ‘60, ‘61, ‘65) and played for five World Series Championship teams (’56 Yankees, ’58 Yankees, ’61 Yankees, ’62 Yankees and ’63 Dodgers) during his career.

Don’t forget that hot dogs, popcorn, and soda are $1.00 during each ThunderBolts home game this season. If that weren’t enough, August 14th is a Fill ‘R Up! Friday, meaning 12oz. draft beer is just $1.00 courtesy of Budweiser and CITY Beverage.
