Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt has postponed his appearance on November 23 at Pocono Downs, closing night at the track, due to a personal conflict, according to his management.
Pocono is pleased to welcome former Major League Baseball pitcher Dwight Gooden on November 23.
Gooden, nicknamed ‘Doc,’ will be on hand from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the sky bridge between the casino and racetrack. Fans may line up starting at 2:00 p.m. to secure a wristband and an authorized photo for the special autograph signing. No outside merchandise will be signed.
Dale Rapson, the track’s vice president of Racing Operations, has announced that the racing meet would offer two additional days of racing on Friday, November 22, and Saturday, November 23, with a first-race post time of 6:30 p.m. both nights.
Friday, November 22 has been deemed ‘Fan Appreciation Night,’ and from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., fans may show their racing rewards card and choose a souvenir from the 2013 meet; one per fan, while supplies last.
