SACRAMENTO, Cailif. -- Almost 12,000 minor league baseball fans helped the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District recognize its approaching 80th anniversary - and call attention to water safety during a Sacramento River Cats game Aug. 28. Col. Thomas Chapman, district commander, threw out the first pitch, and district park rangers and other Corps employees were on hand at a booth to hand out Corps of Engineers water safety fliers and other promotional items. "This was a wonderful opportunity for the Army Corps of Engineers to interact with our neighbors and share some important water safety tips ahead of the Labor Day holiday," Chapman said.
