#Bridgeport, Connecticut– Hey kids, have you always wanted to work for a professional sports team?  Now is your chance! The Bridgeport Bluefish today announced the “Kids Run the Ballpark” essay contest, presented by All Kids Dental.

All interested participants are asked to write a short essay (no more than 250 words) detailing why they want to work for the Bluefish. They then will select ten contest winners, who will be invited to shadow and assist a Bluefish employee on Sunday, April 30, 2017. This is when the Bluefish take on the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard at 1:12 pm. Available jobs include: general manager, field  manager, grounds keeper, public relations/baseball operations, radio broadcaster, ticket sales, community relations, on-field promotions, stadium operations, and mascot handler.

“We are thrilled once again to partner with All Kids Dental for this special contest,” said Bluefish General Manager Paul Herrmann. “Last year’s winners as well as the Bluefish staff all had a wonderful time, so we are excited to bring this fun promotion back. This is a great community initiative that gives kids the opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard.”
