Calling all superheroes: the Fort Myers Miracle need your superpowers at Hammond Stadium.
The Miracle are hosting Superhero Night on Friday, May 18, and rather than challenge their superhuman strength at the box office, all superheroes will be offered free tickets at the ballpark. Miracle superfans can enter a superhero costume contest during the game, and several superheroes will be traversing Hammond Stadium for photo opportunities with spectators.
“Everyone has a favorite superhero character they identify with: Superman, Wonder Woman, Thor, Batman, Incredible Hulk, Catwoman,” said Chris Peters, president and general manager of the Miracle. “Who says you can only dress up like a superhero on Halloween?”
Miracle players will be wearing exclusive spider hero jerseys, which will be auctioned off to raise money for Keep Lee County Beautiful. Lee County Solid Waste is the presenting sponsor for the jersey auction.
Gates open at 6 p.m. on May 18, with the first pitch following at 7 p.m. against the St. Lucie Mets. May 18 also is Nonprofit Night, where local charities will showcase their tremendous work within the community, and Pre-Game Happy Hour from 6 to 8 p.m., presented by Wicked Dolphin and B103.9. Florida Community Bank will present a postgame fireworks show (weather permitting).
May 18 begins a six-game homestand against the St. Lucie Mets and Bradenton Marauders, and each game features multiple promotions:
- Friday, May 18: Superhero Night, Nonprofit Night, Lehigh Rotary Night, Pregame Happy Hour, Postgame Fireworks Show
