MANKATO, MN—The Mankato MoonDogs’ Opening Day Festivities have officially been rescheduled. Former MLB All-Star and New Ulm native, Terry Steinbach, will be coming to Franklin Rogers Park and Wealth Enhancement Group will be presenting a Post-Game Fireworks Extravaganza on August 2nd.
Terry Steinbach will be throwing out the first pitch before the MoonDogs take on the Battle Creek Bombers that night, with the fireworks show immediately following the conclusion of the game.
