The Bangkok Baseball Softball Association (BBSA) is pleased to announce that we have two VERY special guests will attend our Opening Day ceremonies this year.
First, U.S. Ambassador to Thailand, Kristie Kenney, will attend and throw our our first pitch. Ambassador Kenney was recently conferred as Career Ambassador. This prestigious rank is the highest class in the U.S. Senior Foreign Service
And we have just been informed that current Major League player Johnny Damon will also attend. You can view’s Johnny’s profile here at https://espn.go.com/mlb/
As many of you are aware, Johnny’s mother is Thai. So Johnny is preparing to play in Thailand’s World Baseball Classic qualifier in Taiwan in November. The BBSA is very fortunate that both the U.S. Ambassador and Johnny Damon can attend our 53rd annual Opening Ceremonies.
Be sure to be at Reinsch field at ISB by 11:00AM this Saturday. It is sure to be a day to remember.
