CHICAGO, IL- Three key members of the Chicago Cubs organization are among the marquee names scheduled to appear at the Fifty-Eighth Annual Pitch & Hit Club Awards Dinner set for Sunday, January 18, 2004 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.

Ace pitcher Mark Prior, manager Dusty Baker and general manager Jim Hendry will all be recognized for their roles in leading the Cubs franchise to a 2003 division title and its first post-season series victory in 95 years. Prior, the third-place finisher in the NL Cy Young Award voting in his first full major league season, will be recognized as the Chicago Cubs Major League Player of the Year. Hendry will receive the club’s Major League Baseball Executive of the Year honor and Baker will be among the guest speakers on the Stephens Center dais.

We are extremely honored to have the quality of award recipients receiving the Pitch and Hit Awards. We hope that all of Chicago comes out to honor their great achievements” Peter Caliendo, President Pitch and Hit Club.

Sorry everyone, sold out!

Congrats to Pete Caliendo and the Pitch & Hit Club of Chicago on a tremendous dinner last night.

Close to 1,000 people for the dinner, also. Many people already looking forward to the dinner next year and inquiring about being a member of the club.

See everyone again next year,

Jarthur

Great dinner and and first class event!

Can any P & H members give me information on how the dinner went? Who won awards?

Since I'm way on the east coast I don't always get updated info on such great events.

Thanks
