tri city valley cats

The local minor league team appeared on ESPN earlier this week

One of the best things a baseball fan in the Capital Region can do is enjoy "A night at the Joe!" Joseph L. Bruno Stadium, the home of the Tri City Valley Cats is not only fun but so much easier on your wallet then a trip to Yankee Stadium or Citi Field. Not only are the Valley Cats almost always in the hunt to win the New York-Penn League but their Promotional Calendar gives you MANY chances to make memories and maybe bring home a cool souvenir.

Three members of the Tri-City Valley Cats have been named to the New York Penn League All Star game. Pitcher Austin Hansen, infielder Jeremy Pena and outfielder Alex McKenna will represent the Capital Region as All Stars. The Valley Cats continue to be a classy and successful organization here in the 518. The 2018 New York-Penn League All-Star Game will be hosted by the State College Spikes at Lubrano Park on Tuesday, August 14th.
