Round Rock Express/Sertoma Baseball Banquet

The 4th Annual Express Winter Baseball Banquet will be held on January 24th, 2004.  This year the Club elected to offer club members tickets at half price ($50). We have 27 members that have taken advantage of that offer.  Tom Gill, Sertoma ticker master, has alluded to possibly holding the offer open a while longer. Tom will certainly be looking for help selling general admission tickets at $100 per person. Jon Koch is heading up the Corporate Sponsors and table sales. 

Brooks Kieschnick of the Milwaukee Brewers and the Round Rock Express’ Chris Burke and Chad Qualls will be honored at the banquet and the University of Texas’ Dustin Majewski and Huston Street and Texas State’s Tom Robbins will be recognized as the area’s collegiate players of the year.

The Pre-Season All-CenTex high school team will also be recognized.

Kieschnick, the Banquet’s Keynote Speaker, made national headlines when he made the Brewer’s roster as a pitcher – and a hitter. After struggling as a hitter early in his career, Kieschnick made a successful transition to the mound and became the first true two-way player since Willie Smith of the California Angels in 1964. He worked his way into Milwaukee’s bullpen, going 1-1 with a 5.26 ERA in 42 games. Kieschnick also solidified his roll at the plate by hitting .300 with seven home runs as a pinch hitter and inter-league designated hitter.

This is the fourth year we have held the event and again the profits will go to benefit Round Rock Sertoma to help with our charitable efforts. Please make an effort to sell tickets to the event and make it a success!!
