A pair of former Toronto Blue Jays will help comprise a trio of formerly major leaguers that will be trackside at Clinton Raceway on Sunday, July 7.
Ex-Blue Jays Kelly Gruber and Mark Eichhorn, along with Scott Bullett, will be trackside as part of a fundraising effort for Clinton Minor Ball.
Gruber, who was drafted by the Blue Jays in 1983, played third base with the club when they won the World Series in 1992.
Eichhorn is best remembered for his tenure with the Blue Jays the late 1980s – early 1990s where he often served as a middle reliever/set-up man.
Bullett is a former outfielder with the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates. Bullett now runs a very successful baseball program fielding four teams out of Welland, Ont. by the name of Bullettproof Baseball.
The players will be on track for a meet and greet from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a BBQ to follow the races from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
BBQ tickets are available at Clinton Raceway and from Clinton Minor Ball Players for $10.
