In conjunction with the opening, the Waddle In Shop at Bethpage Ballpark acted as a collection point for new, unwrapped toys through Dec. 16 during store hours as part of the Ducks annual Holiday Toy Drive. The toys were delivered on December 19 by Bud Harrelson, Dan Lyons, The “Wiseman”, QuackerJack and members of the Ducks Street Team to the pediatric units of Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, North Shore LIJ/Southside Hospital and Stony Brook University Medical Center for those spending the holidays in the hospital. A big Ducks “Thank You” to all fans who donated — and be sure to visit Facebook.com/LIDucks to view a photo album from the day’s activities!

The Long Island Ducks are members of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball and play their home games at Bethpage Ballpark in Central Islip, N.Y. For further information, call (631) 940-DUCK or visit www.liducks.com.
