Exhibition in Grand Rapids

The Two-Time Defending Champion Midwest League Champion West Michigan Whitecaps will open their season with Grand Valley State on April 2.

Before the West Michigan Whitecaps open the 2008 Midwest League season April 3 in South Bend, Ind., they will play an exhibition contest against Grand Valley State University on April 2 at Fifth Third Ballpark.

This is the second year the contest has been scheduled, but last season's game was snowed out.

"Instead of taking batting practice, we felt this game would spice up things a bit, and Grand Valley was a natural fit," said Jim Jarecki, vice president of Whitecaps. "Plus, the game will be good for our staff, creating game-like conditions and everyone will have an opportunity to get used to the cold."

The rest of the schedule for the Two-Time Defending Midwest League Champion West Michigan Whitecaps has also been released. Some of the new acts...

Some of the new entertainment Oropallo has uncovered includes chain saw juggler Mad Chad (Tuesday, August 12) and The Amazing Christopher (Monday, July 14) who uses his four life size puppets to recreate classic ’70s songs and dances, including the YMCA.

Well, the original Amazing Christopher will actually be there with the Rattlers July 23-25, a Wednesday through a Friday with a fireworks show...on a Wednesday.
