Darrell Rasner Headlines Meet and Greet
From the Nevada Appeal -
Darrell Rasner of the New York Yankees and his cousin Jake Rasner of the Chicago White Sox organization, both from Carson City will be among those featured on Saturday at a Skills and Drills clinic fund-raiser for the Boys and Girls Club of Western Nevada.
Others featured will include Galena High’s Steve Lerud of the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.
Up to 200 youths ages 8 to 17 are invited. The clinic will be at the Stadium Sports & Fitness Club, 9393 Gateway Drive in Reno. Cost is $75 per youth.
A “Meet and Greet,” also to benefit the club, is set for 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 7 at the Plaza Hotel, 801 S. Carson St.
George Foster, former outfielder for the Cincinnati Reds and winner of the 1977 Most Valuable Player Award will speak. There will be auctions and a photographer to take pictures of fans posing with the players – Darrell Rasner, of the Yankees, Mike Costanzo, or the Phillies, and Matt Capps of the Pirates. Cost is $50.
“Ranser & Rasner” does not carry the same excitement as “Bonds & A-Rod,” but, it sure is a heckuva lot cheaper ticket, for sure.
