Baseball, hockey games happening during national convention

Those attending the national convention in Minneapolis have the opportunity to take in a professional baseball game and watch, for free, a hockey game involving wounded and disabled veterans.

American Legion National Commander Denise H. Rohan will throw out the first pitch Aug. 25 prior to the Minnesota Twins home game vs. the Oakland A's as part of Legion Family Night.

A limited number of field box seats and home place view seats still are available for purchase. To order tickets, call (800) 33-TWINS, hit 0 to reach an attendant and then mention The American Legion promotion. More information can be found here.

On Aug. 27, convention attendees are invited to watch the Minnesota Warriors Hockey exhibition game. The Minnesota Warriors Ice Hockey Program was created for wounded, injured or otherwise disabled veterans of the U.S military, in conjunction with the USA Disabled Hockey Program, in order to assist our veterans with reintegration into civilian life.

The game will take place at the University of Minnesota’s Ridder Arena. Admission is free. More information is available here.
