 KC
A’s to Reunite at CommunityAmerica Ballpark
The Kansas City Athletics Baseball Team Appreciation and
Reunion Day hosted by the T-Bones and Sports Radio 810
WHB is planned for August 16, 2008, at CommunityAmerica Ballpark,
1800 Village West Parkway, Kansas City, Kan. There will be a public
autograph signing with the players from 2-5p.m. at the
stadium followed by an introduction of the team members
before the 7:05 p.m. game time.
Tickets for the signing will be available at the stadium that day
for $10 per signature with group signature discounts available.
Tickets for the game between the T-Bones and Railcats are available
anytime. There will also be KC A’s merchandise for sale and
a silent auction of some unique KC A’s memorabilia that afternoon
and evening. John E. Peterson, author of ‘The Kansas City
Athletics: A Baseball History 1954-1967,’ will be at the stadium
that day to sign copies of his book.
The Kansas City Athletics Project, which includes a public television
documentary as well as the reunion, has planned this day as the
final event of the project before completion of the documentary.
