Jackson Rockabillys kick off season with opening night game

JACKSON, Tenn. — The Rockabillys kicked off another year of their opening season this evening, May 28.

This evening fans were able to have items signed by players and enjoy America’s favorite pastime sport with some nice weather.

“Beautiful evening, it could be raining. Anticipating a very big crowd. Its going to be great. The players have been arriving in the last two days. The other team should be pulling in at any minute from Nashville, Tennessee so it’s going to be neat,” said Dennis Bastien.

Not only is this a way for families to get out of the house, it’s also a way for players to build their way up to the major leagues.

“For tonight you’re going to a bunch of 35 hungry college players are hoping to get drafted into the Major League Baseball. This is really really a big big night,” said Bastien.

Tuesday night was the first of many promotional nights at the ballpark.

Fans can also look forward to games in between the innings.

“Sixth inning we’re doing the Coca-Cola Monster Energy 600. A player from each inning is going to race $2,000 dollar remote control 60 mile an hour car 600 feet around the inn field representing a fan so that’s going to be really blockbuster,” said Bastien.

And it wouldn’t be baseball without concessions.

2 fans shared what food items they’re looking forward to and how they’re feeling about the opening game.

“The cheeseburgers the hot dog. We’re so excited for the rockabillies opening game, it gonna be amazing. We’re pumped up we think we’ll have a great season this year,” said Zaiden and Willow, fans at today’s game.

Tomorrow’s game will be teacher’s appreciation night and it kicks off at 7 p.m.
