Minor League Baseball Relief

For the first time in franchise history, the @ChasRiverDogs are league champions! You’ve made Charleston & South Carolina proud!

Earlier this week, I had the honor of throwing out the first pitch at @GoSquirrels Peanut Night with @AgForestryVA Secretary Ring! Thank you to the Virginia Peanut Growers Association for having me. #GoNuts

For over a year, players, fans and vendors were kept out of the ballpark. This afternoon, I visited with the @KingsportAxmen to discuss my bipartisan legislation that provides emergency assistance to MiLB clubs in the Volunteer State and across the nation. @VisitKingsport

Baseball fans, we revisited our look at the financial struggles many @MiLB teams are facing due to Covid, during the @CBSNews Weekend News on Saturday. ICYMI we hear from the @ChattLookouts, @trashpandas, @SenBlumenthal & @MarshaBlackburn Watch here: #x" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cbsnews.com/video/minor-le…

Minor League Baseball teams have suffered huge financial losses due to the Pandemic and some could be on the verge of bankruptcy. Senator @MarshaBlackburn and @SenBlumenthal are stepping up to the plate to try to earn a save. Our @CBSThisMorning report:

A bill being introduced in the U.S. Senate would provide up to $550 million in financial relief to independent minor league clubs due to the pandemic on.forbes.com/6010yer5a

As concert venues & sports teams bounce back from the pandemic, Minor League Baseball is in a league of its own. Teams are striking out when it comes to getting help, and some are on the verge of bankruptcy. As @krisvancleave shows us, help may be coming from the U.S. Senate.
