CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The Boston College baseball team welcomed former United States service men and women and their families to The Heights for the sixth straight year as part of the annual Military Appreciation Game weekend. On Thursday afternoon, the Eagles teamed up with Home Base and Wounded Warrior Project to bring local veterans to Harrington Athletics Village for a friendly game of softball. Despite a few rain showers, it was a great day to be at the ball park with new and old faces.
After the game, the Eagles put together backpacks filled with Under Armour and BC gear for wounded service people at Walter Reed Military Medical Center that will be delivered by BC Athletics department staff later in the year.
