Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

The Buona Fortuna Sons & Daughters of Italy gathered at Blue Wahoos Stadium for a special evening celebrating Mamma during Mother’s Day Week with family and friends. From the moment our cheering squad filled Section 109, the stadium was alive with excitement, laughter, and Italian pride.

The evening was delightfully chaotic in the best way possible — baseball, hot dogs, chips, drinks, swag giveaways, and even dogs in the stands made for such a memorable night. Everyone eagerly waited to hear their seat number called to claim some Blue Wahoos swag, and the energy throughout the stadium was incredible!

The fun didn’t stop there — our President Ginny proudly threw out the first pitch, and former President Dan brought the crowd to life with a spirited performance of our National Anthem.

A heartfelt thank you to our Ospite, Shirley Cotita, for hosting such a wonderful evening at the ballpark as we gathered together to celebrate Mamma. Your warmth, enthusiasm, and generosity helped make the night truly special.

We truly appreciate everyone who came out to share the evening with us. Your love, support, and presence made the night unforgettable as we honored mothers, family, friendship, and community together.

Grazie mille to all who joined us.
