BlueClaws Searching For 2013 Host Families

Dorothy Banner of Brick, NJ has been a host family for BlueClaws players since 2008, and looks forward to meeting the new player she will host each season.
"It's definitely a home run," she said. "It's a great experience and it's better for anyone with children. The guys we've had have been complete gentlemen with our family and friends. I can't say more about the program."
The BlueClaws are always looking to add to their list of families, especially homes in which Spanish is spoken, because of the number of Latin American players in the organization.
