3. Interested in rubbing shoulders with a true blue big leaguer? Look no further than Linfield College head coach Scott Brosius, who played for the Oakland A's and New York Yankees. Brosius appeared in four World Series, earning MVP honors in 1998. He's said to be down-to-earth. And at this event, he should be very accessible to fans. How cool is that?

Pretty cool.

There is also video at the link. I'll be that it's great, but for some reason I can't get it to play because every time the banner ad resets, so does the video. But, I'm sure that's just me.

Tickets are available all weekend long. Stop out and get your baseball fix.
