“As COVID restrictions get better, people are allowed to go to places,” said James Martin of the Wounded Warrior Project. “With the release of MLB The Show and the opportunity to bring warriors together with the beautiful facilities at this stadium, none of this happens without both partners working together and creating something beautiful. I am forever grateful. “
