BILL "SPACEMAN" LEE AT LEES MARKET!

BILL "SPACEMAN" LEE
WINE TASTING & BOTTLE SIGNING
LEES MARKET SATURDAY MAY 19TH!

Mark your Calendar! Lees will be hosting a wine tasting and bottle signing with Bill "Spaceman" Lee on Saturday, May 19th from 12:00pm - 4:00pm! Bill "Spaceman" Lee was a left handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox from 1969 -1978. He was inducted into the hall of fame in 2008, and has now entered the wonderful world of wine.

This tasting came about because Lees started selling Spaceman Red last fall and on a random Tuesday afternoon, Bill Lee came into Lees to thank us for carrying his wine. In the short time he was at Lees, he made many friends and chatted with fans that had spotted him walking through the store and were quite excited to meet him. His presence created quite a stir and as we got to talking, we knew that he would be a great fit for a wine tasting at Lees. He makes only one wine which is a California Red Blend so the tasting won't take too much of your time but hearing his stories will make you want to stay all afternoon! He is quite a character and we are very excited for this event.

Bill "Spaceman" Lee will be on hand offering samples of his wine, signing bottles, and storytelling. He also designs wooden baseball bats (which are manufactured in Fall River) and the bats will be available for purchase and signing during the wine tasting!

We hope to see you all on Saturday, May 19th anytime between 12:00pm and 4:00pm. This is not a sit down seminar so there is not a limit to the number of people that can attend, so feel free to spread the word and invite friends!

The net proceeds, approximately $35.00 per bat will go to the
girls or boys softball/baseball team of the purchaser's choice!

BILL LEE BASEBALL CLINIC FOR KIDS

Prior to the wine tasting, Bill will be hosting a free baseball clinic for kids in the field across the street from Lees Market. Bill's baseball clinic will be held from 10:00am - 12:00pm. This clinic is more about fundamentals, plus learning how to use a wooden bat as opposed to a metal one which is very crucial for kids if they go anywhere with baseball or even softball.
