The Stockton Ports Professional Baseball Club announced that it would be holding auditions from 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 15 at Sherwood Mall in Stockton. The farm team of Oakland Athletics will have representatives at Center Court of the Sherwood Mall, and “singing hopefuls should come prepared to sing the National Anthem.”

Ports community relations manager Margaret Sacchet said the club was excited to be holding its own “American Iodol-like” auditions this year. She said: “Last year we had a lot of great performers and we would love to add to that this season. We are also looking for people who play instruments.”

Ports Media Relations Manager Allison Mandel said “fans that cannot make the Feb. 15 audition date need not worry.” She said the Ports will be holding a second audition in March, about which more information will be made available at a later date.
