starsaber25[Admin] Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 The 501st Legion's Empire City Garrison attended the NY Yankees 2nd Annual Star Wars night at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, NY on Friday August 25th, 2017. This was an open invite in which fellow lfl groups the Rebel Legion, Empire Saber Guild, The Mandolorian Mercs, and the R2 builders club were invited and attended as well. ECG troopers arrived around 4pm. The Star Wars character role started at 5:30 pm when the stadium doors had opened up. All Star Wars characters were set up in groups and spread throughout the stadium to do photo ops with the fans as they filed in for the game. After an hour of photo ops all characters were brought to the field entrance and then were all lined up to march onto the field. After the most recent trailer for Star Wars Episode 8 “The Last Jedi” was played on the big screens through out in the stadium, the character march on the field began. Led by Kylo Ren, Darth Vader, and Darth Maul the characters marched out into the field and awed all of the fans in the stadium. After the march, ECG Troopers stayed on the field and lined up at the field entrance for the umpire introduction. The umpires were announced and then entered the field through a wave of Imperial troopers. After the umpire announcements Darth Vader escorted a child who was chosen to throw out the first pitch of the game. This was truly the special moment of the night as the stadium looked on and cheered the little hero on the mound. Overall this was a fun event which was capped off with the Yankees providing us dinner and suites to watch the remainder of the game in. Big shout out and congratulations to Bill Schreiber and Karl Zarek on this event being their first troops! Congratulations and great job guys!

allan1313[TK] Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 It was a blast. We were able to get at least one stormtrooper each from ANH, ESB, ROTJ, and TFA.Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
