Missoula Paddleheads Raise Money For Local High Schools With SWEET Jersey Auction
Last weekend, the Missoula Paddleheads sported some sweet alternative uniforms. Or should I say three different sweet alternatives?
Note: You can't bid on these jerseys any longer and definitely can't buy tickets to the game, so ignore the links in the tweet above.
Sentinel, Hellgate and Big Sky each had their own unique Paddlehead jersey. The high schools benefitted after the game when fans could bid on the specialty jerseys. All proceeds went to Missoula High School Baseball.
Your winning bid on one of the game day jerseys will benefit Missoula High School Baseball partnership with the Missoula Paddleheads. Their mission is to bring High School baseball back to Montana!"
Not only is it a fundraiser for local high school baseball but also you get to go home with a sweet-looking jersey. Go hang that bad boy up in your man cave. Some of the jerseys went for some big bucks too.
