Notorious B.O.B Eats for SlyeStrong #6 Foundation Saturday

RVA - The Richmond Flying Squirrels, Double-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, are excited to announce that professional competitive eater, the Notorious B.O.B., will be stuffing his face at The Diamond on Saturday, Aug. 12 to help raise funds for the SlyeStrong #6 Foundation during Virginia Tech Night. David and Laura Slye, parents of AJ and Joey Slye, will also be on-hand to throw out a ceremonial first pitch before the start of the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

To raise funds for the SlyStrong #6 Foundation, Bob Shoudt, known as the Notorious B.O.B., will eat as much ballpark fare as possible during Game 2 of the Aug. 12 doubleheader. The Flying Squirrels will be "charging" the B.O.B. "Major League" concession prices for each item he consumes. The Squirrels will then donate the full amount of the total food bill to the SlyeStrong #6 Foundation to help fight cancer.
"I am looking forward to working with the Richmond Flying Squirrels in an effort to raise money for the SlyeStrong #6 Foundation in their battle against cancer," said the Notorious B.O.B. "I'm hoping for a big turnout to help cheer me on to raise a large amount of money. Come out to the game, have some fun with the family and let's raise some money!"
The Notorious B.O.B. will also square off in an eating contest with Flying Squirrels VP & Coo Todd "Parney" Parnell between games of the doubleheader. The first game of the double dip will start at 5:05 p.m. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.
