First Pitch Celebration set for February 4, 2012

Like the arrival of the robins in advance of Spring, the announcement of the date for the First Pitch Celebration is one of the first signs that the 2012 Baseball season is coming quickly (77 days away). Not many details yet, but the time and place are set.

Last year's First Pitch featured former Cardinal catcher Mike Matheny as the speaker. That speaking engagement must have really kick-started his career, since he's now the manager of the Cardinals.

From mutigers.com:

The Mizzou baseball team has set the time for its eighth annual First Pitch Dinner. The event will be held on Feb. 4 at the Hampton Inn on Stadium Blvd. from 4-7 p.m., prior to the Tigers men's basketball game with Kansas. More details will follow.
