One of the fastest growing events on the Bahamas’ sports tourism calendar, the 2021 edition of the Don’t Blink Home Run Derby In Paradise, has been postponed due to the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Professional baseball players Todd Isaacs and Lucius Fox made the official announcement on the latest edition of their Paradise Vibes Only (PVO) Podcast, hosted by Tim McCaster.
Traditionally hosted in early January, the derby has grown in stature to be showcased prominently by several international media outlets, including the MLB Network, and features both minor and major league prospects from around the league.
The Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) has aided a number of community organisations to enable them to provide assistance to Bahamians in need.
The organisations receiving BTC s assistance include the South Andros Senior Citizens Home, Great Commission Ministries and the Sister/Sister Breast Cancer Support Group.
Garfield Garry Sinclair, BTC s chief executive, said: “BTC is inextricably bound up with the Bahamian people, so giving back is simply a natural part of who we are and what we do. This year continues to be challenging for so many, so we will continue to give back to our communities precisely when they need us most.
