A special evening for the Alabama baseball team, the night will be a memorable experience for all in attendance. Supporters of the Crimson Tide baseball program will have an opportunity to join in officially starting the season off with Goff, his coaching staff and the players on the Friday before Alabama hosts Presbyterian College for the season opener on Feb. 17.

Among those were Joe Blanton, Scott Downs and 2006 Cy Young Award winner, Brandon Webb.
