It may be winter, but the Dubois County Bombers are planning for baseball.

NABC was happy to partner with the Dubois County Bombers in 2011 to offer craft beer at League Stadium, and we hope to renew the arrangement in 2012. The hot stove league can be about wintertime baseball gossip, but also about craft beers. Here's a 2012 update, as submitted by the team.

Bombers will have local flavor in 2012 ... Season Tickets now on Sale

The Dubois County Bombers are preparing for the 2012 season and are close to signing 5 or 6 local players from the southern Indiana area. Player contracts have been sent out and signings will be announced in the next few weeks. The Bombers will get started in late May with an exhibition game or two before the 60 game Prospect League regular season begins. The season runs until early August and concludes with two rounds of playoffs.

Season Tickets are now on sale and renewal letters to existing subscribers are in the mail. Individual Adult Ticket Prices will be $5 for General Admission, $7 for Reserved Seating (Orange seats) along the first and third base lines and $8 for Reserved Seating (Red seats) behind home plate.

Season Ticket Prices are $116 for General Admission, $148 for Orange Seats and $162 for Red Seats. Fans should take advantage of sale prices and order now. Orders taken by January 31st are $109 for General Admission, $128 for Orange Seats and $144 for Red Seats.

Bomber Owner John Bigness looks forward to the coming season. “League Stadium is such a great venue for baseball. I can’t think of a better place to watch a game. We’ll have top-notch baseball and great fun, food and drink and with a few exceptions, a whole new roster with more local players than we’ve had in the past. We’re going to generate some excitement early on to bring in bigger crowds and create a buzz throughout the southern Indian region. We’ll make it easy for families and friends to enjoy as many nights at the ballpark as they want.”

Entering its 50th year in 2012, the Prospect League (formerly the CICL) has seen over 1000 alumni play professional baseball with 175 including two former Bombers – Steve Cishek (Florida Marlins) and Cory Wade (New York Yankees) make the big leagues. Other notable alumni include new new Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, Yankee manager Joe Girardi and Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame outfielder Kirby Puckett.
