HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Monarchs owner Marc Blackim is excited about the group he's bringing to the Sunflower Collegiate League this summer.
"We've got players coming from all over the country," Blackim said. "Some young men are coming from some really good programs. I'm looking forward to the summer. It should be a quality team."
Blackim's goal is always to make the games a fun, family-friendly event.
"Kids 12 and under get in free," Blackim said. "Thirteen to 59 is five bucks and seniors 60 and over, it's two dollars. We have not changed our prices since the first year we were here 14 years ago. We just try and make it a very inexpensive, fun night for the whole family."
Blackim couldn't be happier to have his team playing at Hobart-Detter in Hutchinson.
"We're very fortunate, with Hobart-Detter being the facility that we get to call home every summer," Blackim said. "It's by far the best facility that we'll get to play on within our league."
The Monarchs are scheduled to open Monday against the Wichita Lobos, weather permitting.
