Black Oak Casino will be celebrating the World Series with a special event featuring celebrity appearances, autograph and book signings, and ballpark food specials. The event will take place during the first game of the World Series on Wednesday, October 27th from 5-8pm.

Baseball legends Orlando Cepeda and Tito Fuentes will be signing autographs on the first floor of the casino. In addition, Gary Hall, author of Baseball’s Legends & Legacies, will be on hand to sign his best-selling book.

This family-oriented event will also feature giveaways between innings of the first game of the Series as well as ballpark food specials.

"We thought giving a local residents a chance to meet and get autographs from baseball legends would be a great way to kick off the start of the World Series," said Al O’Brien, marketing and entertainment manager for Black Oak Casino. "This is going to be a really fun event and we hope lots of baseball fans and their families will be here for it."
