'Heroes of the Game' Returns to Ducks Baseball

Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine, in partnership with Legislator Nick Caracappa, the Long Island Ducks, Flagstar Bank and the Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency, announced the return of the Heroes of the Game program for the 2024 season to honor local veterans and active-duty military personnel.

More than 100 local veterans and active military personnel will be honored during the season. Up to two “Heroes of the Game” will be selected during all home games at Fairfield Properties Ballpark. Each will be honored with an in-game tribute for their service. In addition, each hero will receive 10 complimentary tickets to the game for their friends and family.

Since 2015, Suffolk County and the Long Island Ducks have honored hundreds of local veterans and military personnel. Suffolk County is home to nearly 100,000 veterans, the largest amount in New York State.

Veterans and active-duty personnel can register to be recognized as one of the “Heroes of the Game” by emailing HeroesGame@suffolkcountyny.gov.
