“When people think about Rochester, they might first think about its baseball history, but what we found was a city with tremendous pride, character, and community spirit,” said Mayo in a press release from the team. “The Red Wings are a big part of that story, and this episode allowed us to showcase not only the team, but the people and places that make Rochester such a special place.”
Among those highlighted in the episode include Red Wings manager Matt LeCroy on a visit to Nick Tahou Hots; a trip by then-Red Wings outfielder Nick Schnell and his family to The Strong National Museum of Play; an event with Yohandy Morales, Trey Lipscomb, and Jackson Cluff at the Boys & Girls Club of Rochester; and a day at Oak Hill Country Club for pitcher Chase Solesky, who recently made his major league debut for the Tampa Bay Rays.
The area’s brewing scene will also be highlighted with a visit to the Genesee Brew House by Seth Shuman, Holden Powell, J.T. Arruda, Zach Brzykcy, and CJ Stubbs.
“Rochester has a rich baseball history, incredible community partners, and a passionate fan base that makes this city unlike any other,” said Red Wings General Manager Dan Mason in a press release. “We’re excited for baseball fans around the country to see what makes Rochester special and to showcase the players, organizations, and landmarks that help define our community.”
The episode is the fourth and final of Grass Routes‘ second season. Previous episodes have featured the Asheville Tourists, Tulsa Drillers, and Montgomery Biscuits.
