The players who don’t call the city home are housed by host families for the duration of their 42-game season. The Paducah Chiefs are currently seeking host families for those players from outside of Paducah.
“Being a host for the Paducah Chiefs is a great and rewarding experience," team Manager Greg McKeel said. "The players are all college students that are here for the summer season. They are on their college baseball team and very dedicated to improving their game. The players will arrive the day after Memorial Day and be here until the last week in July - approximately eight weeks. They would need a place to sleep, shower, and some space in the frig for some food. As a host you will receive free season tickets for you and your family. These young men will become part of your extended family.”
The season will kick off on May 31 with the Chiefs home opener against the Madisonville Miners. The regular season ends July 18 followed by two playoff rounds and a championship round. In addition to becoming a host family, sponsorships and season tickets are currently available for the 2018 season.
Those interested in season tickets, team sponsorships or becoming a host family for the Paducah Chiefs are encouraged to contact Greg McKeel at 270-210-9766, by email to PaducahChiefs@gmail.com or you may send a message on the Paducah Chiefs’ new website at www.PaducahChiefs.com.
