Muddy's Knothole Club

For nearly 100 years, the Mud Hens have developed partnerships with local businesses to provide tickets for underprivileged children from Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. Muddy's Knothole Club gives children the opportunity to experience the fun and excitement of a professional baseball game right here in downtown Toledo!

Ballpark Auctions

Hey bidder bidder! Throughout the season, the Mud Hens hold various silent and live auctions during and after the games. These ballpark auctions include specialty jerseys for theme nights such as 180th Fighter Wing inspired 'Toledo Stingers' jerseys, Jeep Fest inspired 'Toledo Mud Crawlers' jerseys, and more! Fans have the opportunity to bid on player-worn Mud Hens jerseys and other Toledo Mud Hens memorabilia. Each ballpark auction is staffed by local charities who receive a portion of the proceeds from the auction. 

Donation Requests

The Toledo Mud Hens take great pride in assisting local charitable and civic organizations in a variety of ways. One way we can assist these groups is through the donation of select Toledo Mud Hens memorabilia and game tickets. Due to the thousands of requests we receive throughout the year, the Mud Hens have devised a lottery system to distribute donations. All groups will be notified through mail if their group was chosen to receive tickets or other items. Only online donation requests will be considered and must be submitted at least one month prior to your event.

• Your organization will designate a specific night in which they would like to come out and enjoy a night with the Mud Hens
• The Mud Hens allow organizations to sell tickets at a marked up price and keep the profits. The organization must purchase a minimum of 25 tickets at a designated price and take responsibility for selling those tickets. (Organizations have marked up tickets to the $12-$15 range.) Sorry, no refunds will be made for tickets the organization does not sell.
• Dates will be selected on a first come first served basis.
