3rd Annual Clippers Clobber Cancer Game!

After missing last season due to COVID, this will be the third season the Muskegon Clippers will be playing in their annual Clippers Clobber Cancer game! They will be wearing special one time only jerseys which will be auctioned off, as well as a few other memorabilia items, with half of all the proceeds going to the Helen Devos Children's Hospital Cancer Center.

Two years ago was a huge success and we were able to donate over $1000 to the Charity, this year we are hoping to raise even more!

The game will be played on Friday, July 9th as we take on the Royal Oak Leprechauns at 7:05pm, and the auction will go live on Monday, July 5th 2021, with bidding ending before the game.

In 2021, the Muskegon Clippers will begin their fourth season as a member of the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League. The Great Lakes League is comprised of 15 teams from the states of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. The Great Lakes League was founded in 1986 and is affiliated with the National Alliance of Collegiate Summer Baseball, supported by Major League Baseball, and has proudly produced over 90 former players who have reached the major league level.

The Muskegon Clippers play their home games at historic Marsh Field. Built in 1916, the “old ballpark” has undergone numerous renovations over the past few years and features an outstanding natural grass playing surface. With 300-400 loyal fans packed into the park each night, the environment has proved to be a place where our not only our players, but opposing players as well, have loved to play. Marsh Field has been the home of Muskegon baseball for over 100 years and has a rich tradition. This ballpark has served as the home of the Muskegon Lassies of the All-American Girls Professional League as dramatized in the movie A League of Their Own. It was also the home of two minor league baseball teams, the original Muskegon Clippers (New York Yankees) and the Muskegon Reds (Detroit Tigers). Baseball historians will recognize many of the names that have appeared at Marsh Field. It is a veritable "who's who" of baseball greats. Hall of Famer Bucky Harris played for the Muskegon Reds in 1916 and Red Ruffing managed the Clippers in 1949. Other names that are easily recognizable include; Harry Heilmann, Mel Ott, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Elston Howard, Mickey Cochrane, Hank Greenberg, Charlie Gehringer, Hank Greenberg, and the immortal Satchel Paige. All of these greats once displayed their skills at Marsh Field.
