Well it must be summer because the IronBirds are playing ball again at Ripken Stadium. Nine seasons, every game sold out. Amazing.
Ripken Stadium was packed as the Aberdeen Iron Birds took on the Hudson Valley Renegades in their home opener. The game kicked off with our friend, Maryland native and Olympic figure skater Kimmie Meissner throwing the ceremonial first pitch. The game was a great one and the IronBirds notched the victory thanks to Jason Anderson’s skill on the mound and leftfielder Kipp Schultz’s power at the plate.
The excitement of opening weekend continued on through Sunday as the IronBirds celebrated Father’s Day at Ripken Stadium. Before the first pitch, dads and their children hung out on the field, playing catch, running bases and interacting with the players. During the game, they were even able to run the bases together!
As the season progresses we look forward to more fun events like our annual steamed crab nights, “World Cup Night” on June 28, “NASCAR Night” on June 30th and our annual Independence Day Celebration on the 4th of July.
Be sure to grab family and friends and head out to Ripken Stadium to cheer on the Aberdeen IronBirds this summer! We look forward to seeing you there!
