For the fourth straight year, the BlueClaws will turn into the BruceClaws for Springsteen Appreciation Night. This year’s BruceClaws night is July 9th at the 7:05 pm game against Kannapolis.

There will be a special tribute to Clarence Clemons, the legendary E-Street Band member, who passed away on June 18th. Included in the tribute will be a patch on the sleeves of the BruceClaws jerseys worn by the players.

These jerseys will be auctioned off (silent auction) during the game to benefit BlueClaws Charities.

The night starts early with a special performance by the E-Street Shuffle. The Springsteen tribute band will play in the Coors Light WRAT Trap from 5:30 – 7 pm.

Plus, all Springsteen music will be played throughout the game.

In addition, the “Born to Run” fire truck, purchased by Springsteen for the Freehold Fire Department, will be on display in front of the ballpark.

“This is always one of our most popular nights of the year,” said BlueClaws General Manager Geoff Brown. “From the moment the gates open until the final out, BruceClaws night promises to be a blast yet again.”

The BlueClaws are 2-1 all-time as the BruceClaws, including a 5-4 win in 10 innings last year over Delmarva.
