KEIZER, OR — The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes (affiliate of the 2010 World Champion San Francisco Giants) are holding a special night at Volcanoes Stadium on Sunday, July 10. Salute to the Portland Beavers Night begins when the gates open at 4:00 pm for the 5:05 pm game against the Tri-City Dust Devils (affiliate of the Colorado Rockies).

The evening is dedicated to recognizing the meaningful impact the Portland Beavers have had on the area. The Beavers were the big story in Portland for nearly 7 decades. They played in much revered Vaughn Street Park through the 1955 season and moved to Multnomah Stadium in 1956. The 1956 day-night opener in the Stadium drew nearly 34,000 fans. Last September the team won their final game at PGE Park in front of a sellout crowd of just under 16,000 supporters.

Among the notable scheduled to attend will be Portland baseball legend Jack Cain, former Beavers general manager Mark Helminiak, and former Beavers manager and longtime major league player Pete Ward. All former Beavers who attend will be recognized on the field prior to the game.

Keenan Longcor Founder of Friends of Baseball www.friendsofbaeball.org will be on hand to display the last home plate from PGE Park. Friends of Baseball was granted “Interim Custody” until professional baseball can be brought back to Portland. In addition, a great deal of Beavers memorabilia from over the years will be displayed. All fans that wear a Beavers hat, shirt, or jacket etc., can purchase a specially priced admission ticket for just $5 (a savings of $3 off the usual $8 day of game ticket price). Tickets range from the special $5 ticket to a $20 lower box seat. Fans can order tickets by calling 503-390-2225 ext 3007 or online at www.volcanoesbaseball.com
