Spiders Morning Jolt 9/29: Bob in the Bronx

Today, we're looking at the Voice of the Spiders and SpiderTV Bob Black at Yankees Stadium.

Good morning. We need everyone, and I mean everyone, to attend tomorrow’s football game with so much energy and loud cheering so the Spiders can get riled up to win their third straight game. Also, it’s family weekend, another good reason to bring everyone you know to the game.

What else are we mixing into today’s edition?

⚾️ Bob Black at Yankees Stadium
💁‍♀️ Women’s Health Symposium
🕷️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Bob in the Bronx. Our very own Bob Black, Voice of the Spiders and SpiderTV, traveled up north to Yankee Stadium to catch up with a pair of Spider Baseball alumni. Mark Budzinski is the First Base Coach for the Blue Jays, and Sean Casey is the Yankees Hitting Coach. Budzinski was drafted in 1995 and made his MLB debut in 2003 on the Cincinnati Reds. Casey, aka “The Mayor,” was also drafted in 1995 and played for 12 seasons in the MLB.

🔼 Behind the Scenes. While not on the field, court, or track, student-athletes are learning even more about their sport and bodies in the classroom. Spider Performance and Development hosted a Women’s Health Symposium where Dr. Anna Bauer spoke about how the things female athletes do on a daily basis affect their bodies and mental health. 🙋‍♀️ Read about what Dr. Bauer discussed here.

🤔 SPIDERS TRIVIA

Going Down. Football takes on Hampton tomorrow, and they will be wearing special helmet decals for College Football Mental Health Week. Be sure to attend the game to see the decals and, hopefully, a Spider win. Last season, the Spiders took down Hampton by a huge 31 points.

Today’s question—what was the score of the Spiders win over Hampton last season?
