DAYTON, Ohio – The Wright State baseball team will host the Fifth Annual First Pitch Banquet on Wednesday, January 28th in the Ervin J. Nutter Center. The keynote speaker for this year’s event will be former Major League pitcher and current Cincinnati Reds broadcaster Jeff Brantley. The evening will also include a silent auction, meet-and-greet with the 2009 Raider baseball squad and a sit-down dinner.
Brantley pitched for five different teams during his professional career – four National League squads and one American League team – and was an All-Star with the Cincinnati Reds in 1990. He was the National League saves leader during the 1996 slate, posting 44 saves. From 2002-2006, Brantley was a member of ESPN’s broadcasts of Major League Baseball and was an in-studio contributor on Baseball Tonight.
For the second straight year, the First Pitch Banquet will take place in the main arena of the Ervin J. Nutter Center and feature a sit-down dinner. This will be the public’s first look at the 2009 Wright State Baseball team and include a silent auction. Brantley will be the third consecutive speaker with a tie to the Cincinnati Reds Organization, following Marty Brennaman (2008) and George Foster (2007). Steve Garvey spoke at the 2006 banquet and Jim “The Rookie” Morris was the first ever speak for the WSU First Pitch Banquet.
The cost for the event will be $60 per person, with a VIP table for ten guests costing $1000. The VIP table includes recognition during the program and admission to a pre-event meet and greet with the Cincinnati Reds broadcaster. The doors will open to the public at 6:30.
Event Order will include:
6:30 - Doors Open, Silent Auction, Cash Bar
7:00 - Dinner
7:45 - Program with Jeff Brantley
