"This surpasses even our wildest expectations," said Trash Pandas President and CEO Ralph Nelson. "We are grateful to our fans throughout North Alabama and the entire Tennessee Valley, as well as those around the world, for support that is simply unprecedented in Minor League Baseball. As I've said repeatedly, I do not believe any fan base has ever embraced a new team like ours has."
"We are truly humbled by this ... and it is only the beginning," Nelson continued.
The Emporium at Bridge Street is the only location in North Alabama to purchase official Trash Pandas merchandise, season tickets and mini-plans. Merchandise is also available in the online store: https://trashpandas.milbstore.com/.
