World Baseball Classic games in Phoenix!
The World Baseball Classic starts on March 7th. Phoenix is one of the host cities and is hosting Pool C which includes Team USA, Canada, Mexico, Columbia, and Great Britain. The GCSA is looking for any members interested in attending the USA vs Canada game on Monday, March 13th, at 7:00 PM at Chase Field in Phoenix. Chase field is the Arizona Diamondbacks stadium. We can get pretty good seats for approximately $60.00 per person.
At this time we can get seats grouped together, but the sooner we purchase them the better. So I’m proposing that if you’re interested in going, please notify Kevin Wike by email ([email protected]) of your intention to go and have the money(cash or check) to him by Friday, February 10 at noon. The tickets will then be purchased.
