August 25, 2009 - Robstown, TX - 2 for 1 Tuesday - 2 tickets for the price of 1 - $2.00 bottles of beer - Tonight when the Thunder take on the Broncos, Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith will throw out the first pitch. In town to watch his son Dustin play, Thunder fans will get to see Ozzie @ 7:05pm. The Thunder will try to move within a 1/2 game of the forth and final playoff spot currently held by the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings with a win tonight.

"It's real exciting and a blessing to have someone like Ozzie Smith here at RMB Field," said Thunder GM C.J. Bauer. " "We all know how good Ozzie was as a baseball player, I assure you he even exceeds that as a person. They don't make many like him, on and off the field. Dustins the same way, very unassuming, kind and considerate."

This is Ozzie Smith's first visit to Nueces County.
