Buddy Ball - More than baseball.
November 2, 2008

The Jenks Trojan Baseball players, in collaboration with the Tulsa Autism Foundation,
hosted their second annual Buddy Baseball Game on Sunday, November 2nd, from 3 to 5
o'clock.  

The weather could not have been more beautiful.  Sixteen special Jenks children were
paired with Jenks baseball players for a very thrilling game of ball that went extra innings
due to a tie.  Each child received a Buddy Baseball t-shirt, thanks to the Morris family, and
enjoyed pizza in the dugout with their Jenks buddy.  

Special thanks go to Dusty Goddard, who announced this special game, to Reasor's
Foods in Jenks, who supplied pop and cookies, and to Sterling Basden, who entertained
the kids as Ojen the Trojan.  Thanks also to all the players, parents, and coaches who
made this awesome event possible.
