Former MLB Pitcher Dave Rozema in Chatham Saturday to Support Minor Baseball

From 9:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday, May 14 at Fergue Jenkins Field in Chatham, Victory Ford, Chatham Minor Baseball, and Dave “Rosey” Rozema will be on hand for the fundraising event. Put on through the Drive One 4UR Community program, Victory Ford will donate $20 for every valid test drive completed in a Ford or Lincoln vehicle at the event, toward Chatham Minor Baseball. Victory Ford-Lincoln will donate up to $6000 at the event.

Proceeds from the event, which will also feature snacks and refreshments, will go toward field improvements planned by the Rotary Club of Chatham for Fergie Jenkins Field. In particular, organizers are hoping to enhance the field by adding a warning track.

Former MLB pitching star Dave “Rosey” Rozema will be attending the event. Rozema was part of the Detroit Tigers when they won the 1984 World Series and now resides in Michigan. Rozema will be on hand to share stories, teach young Chatham Minor Baseball players pitching skills, and to sign autographs for those in attendance. Rozema’s appearance, and the donations from the test drive toward Chatham Minor Baseball’s field upgrades were made possible by Victory Ford Lincoln Sales. Victory Ford is located at 370 Richmond Street in Chatham.

All Chatham Minor Baseball players, sports fans, and local residents are invited to Fergie Jenkins Field next to the Kinsmen Auditorium and Memorial Arena in Chatham this Saturday for this unique sporting event.
