It’s almost game time for the Tri-City ValleyCats and they need batboys and batgirls!

Future all-stars! The Tri-City ValleyCats are on the hunt for batboys and batgirls for their 2026 home games, running from May 15 to August 30! Local kids ages 10 and up from the Capital Region can enter a fun online drawing for a chance to spend a night in the dugout, grab a free T-shirt, and score tickets for their guests. It’s an exciting behind-the-scenes experience in the dugout and your front-row seat to all the action!
