Jonas Brothers, ESPN Softball Match-Up

ESPN photographer Joe Faraoni took some great shots of the Jonas Brothers/ESPN game Friday at the Rock Cats stadium in New Britain. I'll try to post more of them later.

Jonas Brothers, ESPN Matchup Today

Today's the big game, folks, between ESPN commentators and the Jonas Brothers boy band. It's a softball game at New Britain's Rock Cats stadium.
I'll have more on it after the big event, but if anyone out there is going and has photos or experiences they want to share through Extra B.S., send them to me at jmajerus@bristolpress.com.

Jonas Brothers vs. ESPN Ticket Info

In case you're interested but still didn't know: tickets to see the Jonas Brothers play softball against ESPN commentators are free. They're available at the Rock Cats stadium box office in New Britain. There's a limit of six and there are about 6,000 available. I have no idea how many they gave out on the first day, which was Thursday, but if you want them, I suggest you make a beeline for the beehive.
While the tickets are free, if you are going and you can, make a donation. The money goes to the Connecticut Children's Medical Center, and as I understand it, it's designated for caring for patients with cancer and blood disorders -- a pretty worthy cause.
This straight from ESPN: the box office is at 230 John Karbonic Way, New Britain. You can also call (860) 224-8383. Additional event information is available at www.espnradio.com and www.rockcats.com.

Jonas Brothers vs. ESPN

The Jonas Brothers, the Walt Disney boy band shown above, are coming to the Rock Cats stadium in New Britain for a face-off softball game against ESPN.
The game is set for noon on August 13 and tickets are free, said Rosa Gatti, who heads corporate outreach for ESPN.
She said the hope is that people will give donations to the Connecticut Children's Medical Center.
The Jonas Brothers apparently love to play softball and have a team called the Road Dogs, said Gatti. She said they appeared on an ESPN fantasy podcast and when they talked about the Road Dogs, they were challenged to a softball game by ESPN's team, which is called the Goats.
This is definitely going to be something to see.
I will update more on Extra B.S. when I learn how to get tickets and all that. I'll also be writing a story about this today for The Bristol Press, so it should be in Friday's paper.
