The Tigers sent out a press release in hopes of drumming up interest in the host family program. This is a unique opportunity if you can handle the responsibilities involved. Players I've spoken to rave about their host family experiences. Some consider the families as their own. There is quite the bond.
With the Tigers players being a few years younger than the Defenders players, I think it is even more important for these kids to have good homes to come "home" to after games and road trips.
Here's more from the team:
The Tigers will hold an informational meeting for those interested in learning more about the Host Family Program for the 2010 season. The meeting will take place Thursday May 13th from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Dodd Stadium in “The Yard” Bar and Grill, located on the suite level.
The meeting will be a chance for the Tigers staff to explain the program to those interested as well as answer any questions they might have. The Tigers are looking for host families in the community to house one or more players for the 2010 season. In addition to the chance to house a potential future Major Leaguer, host families will receive a number of additional exclusive benefits including tickets and discounts.
Players will be in need of housing from mid-June through the first week of September.
