Opening day for the Paducah Chiefs baseball club is just two months away.
The team plays in the Ohio Valley Baseball League at Brooks Stadium during June and July. While they're in Paducah, the college-age players from across the region rely on the generosity of local families to host them for the season.
General Manager Greg McKeel said, “Host families provide the much-needed stability and support for these young players who travel to Paducah to play for the Chiefs. Even though this is for only two months, I have seen host families and players develop relationships that continue for years. They are truly extended family members.”
At this time, several players need host families for the upcoming season which begins Saturday, May 31.
“Being a host family for one of these amazing players is one of the best experiences that I have had,” added McKeel.
