River Bandits Release 2017 Schedule

As winter approaches, the River Bandits are thinking about spring. Monday the Class-A affiliate of the Houston Astros released its schedule for next year. 

They'll open the 2017 season of the Midwest League on Thursday April 6th, at home, against Wisconsin. And play a second home game against the Timber Rattlers the following night. 

The new schedule also includes at least two home games a month on Friday nights for the River Bandits. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
