Our seventh annual Trick or Treat night at the field.
This year’s event is a Trunk or Treat where players and families will remain in vehicles driving through the park to get treats. To maintain social distancing and to keep traffic flowing, players must remain in the vehicle at all times.
The Lehigh Valley Yankee Fan Club would like to provide an estimate of players and siblings planning to attend this year’s Trunk or Treat event.
We will again be collection donations for Keystone Military Families and would ask that each family bring something for those military members that will not be home for the holidays. Thank you for your support!

Eric McGovern’s Passing
Recently, we lost one of our most precious players. Eric McGovern was one of our original players from day one as has the entire McGovern family and children. Eric was so much fun as he challenged Mr. Dan to fire fast balls to him every time he came to the plate and yes, he never failed to hit them. Eric was loved by all of us who had the privilege to know him. He was a big Yankee fan and was a member of the Lehigh Valley Yankee Fan Club led by our board member and President of the club, Chuck Frantz, and often went on trips to Yankee Stadium. Of course, he played on the Yankees at the Miracle League coached by Chuck Frantz. We will miss him dearly. Condolences to the McGovern Family from the entire Miracle League of Northampton County family.
Subaru Shares the Love!
We’d like to thank Faulkner Subaru of Bethlehem for sharing the love with us. Until January 4th, $250 of each car sale will be donated to the league. Thank you!
