The thrill of baseball filled the air on June 17 when players and staff from the St. Cloud Rox baseball association came to take part in the annual “Rox Baseball Block Party” at Country Manor Campus. Residents represented the sport well, dressed in baseball attire and caps and big-brimmed summer hats. Enthusiastic residents were treated to an array of baseball-themed games and even a special autograph session to commemorate America’s favorite pasttime and the beautiful summer day. The St. Cloud Rox visit allowed residents an opportunity to get to personally know the players they rooted for from the stands during the St. Cloud Rox Veterans' Appreciation Night Game held July 20 in which residents who served our country were recognized, appreciated and honored throughout the game.
