Last night, the Cleveland Guardians' Triple-A affiliate, the Columbus Clippers, wore special Columbus Blue Jackets jerseys for a special CBJ Season Ticket Holder Event. While wearing the Blue Jackets-style uniforms, [https://www.milb.com/en/columbus/news/clippers-walk-it-off-on-blue-jackets-night] the Clippers battled back through eight innings to take the lead. Unfortunately, they gave it up and headed into the ninth tied. That set the stage for a perfect finish to a night honoring the Blue Jackets. Guardians top prospect Travis Bazzana [https://x.com/CLBClippers/status/1963775661275045925] stepped into the box and crushed a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth, sending Clippers fans home happy with a win. Before the game, Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner got the chance to throw out the first pitch. Instead of tossing a ball, he used his hockey stick to shoot a puck from the mound to home plate. It was a unique first pitch, and one that fans on social media seemed to love.

It’s always fun to see teams around Columbus come together to help grow the game of hockey and other sports. Crossovers like this can pull in new fans, and tonight’s event with the Clippers was a great example of that.
