The Norfolk State University First Pitch Dinner will serve as the signature kick-off event for the 2017 baseball season. The occasion will present attendees with an excellent opportunity to meet and learn more about the 2017 Norfolk State University baseball team. Members of the team will be available for conversation and interaction during the social hour and a number of them will be seated at tables that are purchased by sponsors of the event. We are also expecting a large number of former Spartan baseball players to be in attendance, so the evening will serve as a great way for old teammates to reconnect and share stories about Norfolk State Baseball’s illustrious 52 year history.

The keynote speaker for this inaugural event will be, 2001 World Series Champion Mr. Tony Womack. Tony is a 13 year Major League Baseball veteran as well as a 3 time Lou Brock Award winner. He is an excellent speaker that possesses a wealth of baseball knowledge from his many years of professional baseball experience.

Mr. Terry Bradshaw who currently serves as the Double-AA Hitting Coach for the Kansas City Royals, will be in attendance as our special alumni guest and will also give remarks.  After a stellar career at Norfolk State University, Terry was selected in the 9th round of the MLB draft by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1990 and played professionally for 7 years.

Mrs. Brandi Cummings who is a weekend television anchor for WAVY-TV 10 and FOX 43, will serve as the Mistress of Ceremonies for the dinner. Brandi has more than a decade of experience in television and has worked in news rooms as a reporter, anchor and host.

The keynote speaker, special guests, live entertainment, an exciting event program and great food will certainly make this a night to remember.
