Host Families Still Needed For Martinez Sturgeon Baseball Players

MARTINEZ, CA — The Martinez Sturgeon Professional Baseball Team is searching for a few more host families for its 2023 season.

Its players travel from all over the United States —and some from other countries — to spend a summer in Martinez and play for the Sturgeon Baseball Team.

"A vital part of a successful season is to have host families provide housing for the players and a family atmosphere for the summer," the Sturgeon Boosters said via email Tuesday. "We work extremely hard and take pride in providing our players with a safe, comfortable family environment. These young men will have a positive influence in our community and in your home."

The baseball season begins in May and ends early to mid-August depending on how far into the playoffs the team gets.

Here's what is needed from a host family:

• Provide a player with their own room for the season.
• Provide access to a washer and dryer if possible.
• Provide access to a bathroom
• Provide access to a kitchen
• Provide a safe and comfortable environment.

Players are expected to follow the rules of the house, contribute to a family's routines, and share gratitude for a family's generosity.
