Interested in becoming a host family for the Southern Illinois Miners players?  Host families will receive the following:

• Game tickets provided to host families throughout the season along with a parking pass
• In-game recognition of host families at home games
• A team-sponsored preseason event for all host families
• Team sponsored In-season event with host family and their player
• On-field recognition ceremony at the end of the season for host family
• Souvenir discount for host family

Opening your home to a professional baseball player, as well as to the daily grind and lifestyle of an elite athlete, is an experience that few people have the opportunity to enjoy. The Frontier League is often the last effort a hard working, highly motivated player will make in attaining his ultimate goal: playing in the Major Leagues. These players bring their talents and skills to the Frontier League despite making meager wages, which makes the need for host families extremely important. Becoming a host family truly allows a household to join the Southern Illinois Miners family. The recognition and perks one receives as compensation for becoming a host family is worth more than money. The memories and relationships host families make with their “host sons” are invaluable and will last a lifetime.

Interested parties can contact a Miners representative for more information at (618) 998-8499.
