A celebration and coming together of “America’s music” and our “National pastime” is the mission of The Bluegrass Baseball Project (BBP), part of the bigger picture of keeping the music we love not only alive, but vibrant and strong, growing and reaching into the future. Our primary goal is to have September 13th, the birthday of Bill Monroe, designated as “Bluegrass Day” by as many major and minor league baseball teams as we can, with live bluegrass music being played at each stadium and ballpark hosting a game that day. The creation of the BBP was inspired by Bill Monroe & the Bluegrass Boys and their Bluegrass Allstars baseball club; a team born of, and inspired by, Bill Monroe's fierce love of baseball.
We know some teams already have bluegrass days at various times throughout the season. It's our mission to have September 13th become the day when all of baseball and bluegrass come together as one. There are twenty-nine* major league and sixty** minor league teams, stadiums, and ballparks across America. On September 13th, 2023, fifteen major league games are scheduled, as well as fifteen games in both Triple-A and Double-A baseball. One team at a time... One season at a time... Whatever it takes... What a great day it would be for bluegrass and for baseball if "Bluegrass Day" was to become a reality!
The Bluegrass Baseball Project is a grass roots campaign solely dependent upon and motivated by a shared love of bluegrass, America's music, and our National pastime, baseball, and the desire to celebrate the two across the country on one special day for years to come!
