The La Plata Bulldogs baseball team was selected to play at Busch stadium in St. Louis on the 29th of April this season.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to play on a major league baseball field.

They will have the opportunity to play another high school team following the St. Louis Cardinals’ game with the Atlanta Braves.

The Bulldogs’ opponent has not yet been determined.

The tickets are priced at $20.00 each and included in that price is the Cardinals game with the Braves and then immediately following the Cardinals game the Bulldogs will get their chance to play.

The seats for the Cardinals game will be located in the outfield loge area but when that game concludes everyone may come down and sit at the field level.

The Cardinals’ game starts at 12:45 and La Plata will begin thirty minutes after. (Roughly 4:30)  In order to play we are required to sell a predetermined amount of tickets for the St. Louis Cardinals game.

If you are interested in either a donation or purchase of a ticket please call the school at 660-332-7001.

Checks should be made out to La Plata R-II.
