BATTLE CREEK, MI: The Battle Creek Battle Jacks are thrilled to announce “Seinfeld Night” on Thursday, July 11 at 6:35 pm, against the Kalamazoo Growlers, at MCCU Field. We are offering an official contract to comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld to join the coaching staff for this night, as well as throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Seinfeld, who recently delighted fans with his new film “Unfrosted”, a comedic exploration of the origins of the Pop-Tart, is the perfect fit for this incredible game. As Battle Creek is not only the home of the Battle Jacks but also the birthplace of the Pop-Tart, it’s a match made in comedy heaven.
