On Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at 11AM the Edmonton Capitals hosted a baseball game at Telus Field designed specifically for elementary-aged school kids. Affectionately referred to as Home Run Hooky, this game provided educational information throughout the day to kids based upon the game of baseball.   Elements of mathematics, socials studies and science will be incorporated into this fun event.
There were fun activities from start to finish and Edmonton Capital Darryl Brinkley capped it off by hitting a grand-slam in the bottom of the 9th inning to win the game for the home team by a final score of 5 - 4.

Have a warm winter and we'll see you at the park in 2010!
