Glens Falls, NY – Continuing the team’s tradition of community involvement and support, this Thursday, June 23^rd at 7pm, the Glens Falls Golden Eagles of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League (PGCBL) will be hosting the Fire Department of New York’s (FDNY) baseball team for a charity exhibition game with all proceeds benefiting the local Glens Falls September 11^th Memorial.

The FDNY Bravest Baseball Team was founded in 1998 and plays in New York City men’s baseball leagues while also travelling to raise money for department-related charities and causes such as the Glens Falls September 11^th Memorial.

The Memorial, originally conceived by Glens Falls native Ric Stafford in 2008, is being constructed at the Ridge Street location of the Glens Falls Fire Department and will be officially dedicated later this year on September 11^th.

Excited about the game, team owner Darin Williams said “We are proud and honored to host the FDNY Bravest for this great cause."
