(Reading, PA) – The Reading Fightin Phils are excited to celebrate Baseballtown’s own Nick Singleton with a Draft Celebration Hometown Hero bobblehead giveaway for the first 2,000 kids on Friday, April 24, presented by Klee Funeral Home and Cremation Services.
On April 24, the Fightin Phils welcome the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, for a 6:45 p.m. first pitch. Gates open at 5 p.m., and fans are encouraged to arrive early to ensure kids can secure their Nick Singleton bobblehead.
The bobblehead giveaway coincides with the second night of the NFL Draft, where Singleton is expected to hear his name called following a standout career at Penn State. Singleton has appeared in Baseballtown three times during his collegiate career, making visits in 2022, 2023, and 2025. He also competed at FirstEnergy Stadium in 2018 as a freshman at Governor Mifflin High School.
In addition to the giveaway, the Fightin Phils will host an NFL Draft Watch Party, and fans are encouraged to wear white in support of Nick Singleton and his alma mater ahead of his selection. The night will also feature a Beer Tasting in the Redner’s Event Center, complete with an all-you-can-eat buffet. On the field, the Fightin Phils will wear their brand-new Baseballtown Connect jerseys, which are debuting for the 2026 season.
Following a standout high school career at Governor Mifflin, Singleton starred at Penn State from 2022–25. He rushed for over 1,000 yards in two of his four seasons with the Nittany Lions and helped lead the program to a Rose Bowl victory in 2022, along with a trip to the College Football Playoff semifinals during the 2024 season.
Singleton finished his Penn State career as the program’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns. He also ranked fourth in career rushing yards, trailing only teammate Kaytron Allen and Penn State legends Evan Royster and Saquon Barkley.
The Reading Fightin Phils are proud to celebrate hometown hero Nick Singleton as he takes the next step in his football journey at the 2026 NFL Draft.
