Mighty Mussels to host 'Shellabration Fan Fest' on April 2

FORT MYERS, Fla. - March 28, 2025 - PRLog -- The Fort Myers Mighty Mussels are offering baseball fans an opportunity to meet players, enjoy their first hot dog of the season and hear predictions for this year's team during a free Shellabration Fan Fest on April 2.

The family-friendly Shellabration will include meet-and-greets and autograph sessions with Mighty Mussels players, as well as opportunities to hear from Managing Partner John Martin and Team Manager Seth Feldman. Concession stands will be open and offer a limited food and beverage menu featuring traditional ballpark fare. Season ticket holders and corporate sponsors will have access to a VIP area that includes complimentary appetizers and drinks from the ballpark's upgraded catering menu.

"The Mighty Mussels have been a model of consistency for Minor League Baseball, posting winning records for five consecutive seasons and 10 of the past 11 seasons," Martin said. "Even though our players are not household names yet, fans at the Shellabration likely will be seeing and talking with future big leaguers, including a few future MLB All-Stars."

David "Big Papi" Ortiz and Joe Mauer are among a group of former players to become MLB All-Stars who were elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame after retirement.

The Shellabration Fan Fest runs from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 2 at Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex, 14100 Six Mile Cypress Parkway in Fort Myers. Admission and parking are free; RSVPs are not required.
