It’s hard to believe as we’re just starting to sneak into winter that baseball season is only about 174 days away. The Erie Seawolves have announced their 2009 game times and fireworks nights. Can you believe this will be their 15th season? I remember watching Jose Guillen blast a game winning home run that very first game so many years ago. I’m old.

For home games in April and May, games will start at 6:35 p.m. In June and through the rest of season, games will start at 7:05 p.m. Sunday games throughout the season start at 1:05 p.m.

The 2009 schedule features nine Monday Buck Nights, 10 Tuesday Family Buck Nights, 10 Sunday day games, five mid-week day games and three Saturday day games. In addition, the schedule is highlighted by 7 fireworks shows, the most in team history.
