Breakfast with a Legend: Gary Sheffield

s-l1600.jpg

Get ready to meet a true baseball legend! Gary Sheffield, an 9-time MLB All-Star, 1997 World Series champion, and one of only 25 players in Major League history to hit over 500 home runs, will be joining us at the Breakfast of Champions. With a career .292 batting average, 2,689 hits, and 509 homers over 22 seasons playing for eight teams, Sheffield’s powerful swing and unforgettable presence made him one of the most feared hitters of his era.

 

Don’t miss your chance to hear stories, celebrate a storied career, and maybe even win a signed and framed Gary Sheffield jersey at our drawing.

Recently, Gary spent time with two of our Friends of Baseball committee members during our annual Golf Tournament in an exclusive interview. Check it out below, you won’t want to miss it!
