Blue Crabs sponsor breakfast with Pinch

Friday, Nov. 27, 2009

The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs will hold a holiday breakfast featuring the team's mascot, Pinch, from 8 a.m. to noon Dec. 12 at Regency Furniture Stadium.

Families who love Blue Crabs baseball can enjoy Breakfast With "Santa Claws." Pinch will don a white beard and Santa suit for Christmas flavor.

Breakfast with Santa Claws will also feature a Greater Waldorf Jaycees Toys for Tots drive.

The Jaycees distributes new, unwrapped toys to children up to 18 each Christmas. The club is asking for donations such as sporting goods, toy cars, planes and boats, dolls, board games, books, bicycles, scooters, puzzles, models, hand-held video games and small electronics. The Jaycees discourage stuffed animals as they are difficult to keep clean, according to a Blue Crabs press release.

The event will include a French toast breakfast in the Legends Club at the stadium, tours of the ballpark, hot chocolate and a photo op with "Old Saint Pinch." Tickets are $5 in advance and $6 on the day of the event. To purchase tickets, call 301-374-1130 or e-mail cfreeland@somdbluecrabs.
