Brockton Rox to Host Inaugural Boston Fire Department vs. NYPD Charity Baseball Game
The Brockton Rox will host an inaugural rivalry game between the Boston Fire Department Baseball Team (Boston Fire Jakes) and the New York Police Department Baseball Team (NYPD Finest) on Saturday, May 10, at 6 p.m. at Campanelli Stadium.
As part of the Brockton Rox’s revival season, this game will unite two of the country’s top first responder baseball teams in a battle for bragging rights.
Admission is free, but tickets are required for entry. Tickets are available now on the Brockton Rox ticket website.
“The Boston Fire Jakes look forward to playing our brothers at the NYPD Finest at Campanelli Stadium, the home of the famous Brockton Rox, to raise money and awareness for the Boston Fire Cancer Foundation. It will be a great night of baseball for an even better cause,” said Chris Benson, general manager of the Jakes, in a news release shared with Our Sports Central.
“We are very excited and thrilled to travel up to Brockton to play at Campanelli Stadium against the Boston Fire Department. New York vs. Boston has historically been the greatest rivalry in the history of baseball, and Police vs. Fire has historically been a great rivalry as well. Now, you combine both those things, you’re going to get and see some intense baseball,” said NYPD Finest General Manager Jose Vasquez.
May 16 marks the Opening Day for the return of the Brockton Rox professional baseball team.
