The Toledo Mud Hens are proud to host the 2018 Gene Cook Foundation Baseball Camp for Kids on Wednesday, August 15 at Fifth Third Field. The event is held in memory of Gene Cook, who served as General Manager of the Mud Hens from 1978-1998.
The Mud Hens team up with various local youth organizations to bring children to the camp. It's geared for children ages 6-13 who normally would not have the financial means to attend an event like this.
Each child participating in the camp receives:
• A two-hour baseball camp which includes instruction from Mud Hens players.
• A Mud Hens baseball and camp t-shirt.
• A game ticket to the August 15 Mud Hens game
• A meal coupon
This has been an annual event since 2005, to help keep the memory of Gene Cook alive and pass on his love for the game of baseball.
