Now that those lazy days of summer are here, there is nothing more relaxing than watching a baseball game.  You don't have to go far in the Capital Region to catch a professional baseball team.  Go see the Tri-City ValleyCats at Joe Bruno stadium in Troy. The team just recently announced their home schedule of giveaways and promotions throughout the season. 

The Tri-City ValleyCats are a minor league baseball team and Class A short season  affiliated with the Houston Astros Major League Baseball Team. The Cats are the 2010 champions of the New York – Penn League (NYPL). Hard to believe the team has been playing locally for 11 years, consider that is longer than the Albany-Colonie Yankees did,

They play at Joe Bruno Stadium located near Hudson Valley Community College at 80 Vandenburg Avenue in Troy and offer a great experience for those who want to watch some professional baseball.  At least once a week fireworks take place after the game.

Listed here are the giveaway & promotions scheduled throughout the 2012 season.
