Single game tickets go on sale on mightymussels.com on Wednesday, March 15 at 8 a.m.
The season gets underway at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 6. All first responders can receive free tickets for them and their families in gratitude of their vital work in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
The Mussels will host 14 fireworks shows and three concerts in 2023 amongst many other theme nights and special evenings.
SPECIALTY JERSEY NIGHTS
The team will wear specialty jerseys on April 8, May 3, June 9, and July 2-3.
On April 8, the team will don custom white jerseys with blue pinwheels to spread awareness for Child Abuse Prevention Month. Proceeds will benefit the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida. The CAC provides a coordinated response to child victims of abuse and neglect and to improve the lives of at-risk children and their families through prevention services. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is the Grand Slam Title Sponsor of the event.
On May 3, the Mussels will celebrate the long-standing tradition of Islands Night, but with extra significance this season. This year’s jerseys will feature the Sanibel Island lighthouse, with artwork produced by Sanibel artist Rachel Pierce. All proceeds from the jersey auction will go directly to civic organizations on the islands most affected by Hurricane Ian.
On June 9, the Mighty Mussels will join the rest of Minor League Baseball by celebrating Marvel Defender’s of the Diamond Night. The players will wear custom Mussels’ jerseys with Marvel’s own twist on the Mussels’ logo and color scheme.
