The public is invited to come and enjoy the concert (5 p.m.), the induction ceremony (6:30 p.m.), and a fun baseball game (7 p.m.). The event is also a great reunion and a fun way to celebrate this family of local musicians as they gather to support each other while they’re here to enjoy moments and music like this.
Plus, it’s inexpensive to get in, just a few bucks for a general admission ticket. Cost is $7.00 in advance or $9.00 on the day of the game for adults and $5.00 in advance or $7.00 on the day of the game for children and seniors, with all proceeds directly supporting the RPhils. Get tickets in person at the stadium or virtually via the RPhils website.
