The Hartford Yard Goats Junior PA Experience Sponsored by American Eagle Financial Credit Union

My son was over the moon when we found out he would have a chance to take on the Junior PA role at an upcoming Yard Goats baseball game! And there are no words for the look on his face when he stepped into the American Eagle Production Booth at Connecticut’s Dunkin’ Park. I will never forget seeing him appear on the jumbotron or hearing his sweet voice announcing the Yard Goats’ players over the PA system. I’ll treasure those photos and videos forever.

The entire Hartford Yard Goats staff was incredible throughout our experience. They treated my son with such kindness and warmth. The head of production patiently guided him through the role of the Junior PA and coached him on player name pronunciations, which really boosted his confidence. After we left the booth, several fans came up to him, saying things like "Good job!" and "You were the kid on the screen!" The opportunity American Eagle is offering kids with this program is just so special.


Dunkin’ Park is the place to be this baseball season.
