The Biloxi Shuckers, a Minor League Baseball team, will host an Apollo 13 50th Anniversary night on June 20, 2020 at MGM Park in Biloxi, Mississippi.
The first 1,000 fans will receive a bobblehead of Biloxi's own Fred Haise, the Lunar Module pilot for the Apollo 13 crew. Presented By Keesler Federal Credit Union.
The game will also feature special player jerseys:
The Shuckers celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 13 with special Apollo 13 Flight suit jerseys. An auction for the game-worn jerseys will take place, with winners receiving their jersey from players after the game.

Do they think the game will be played? I have not seen anything saying large gatherings will be allowed in June.
