We’re not sure Quasimodo predicted all this, but we do know that acclaimed actor Steve Schirripa is making a guest appearance at PNC Field on Saturday, July 18. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are thrilled to announce that the legendary actor who portrayed Bobby Bacala on The Sopranos is destined for a VIP appearance when the RailRiders host the Worcester Red Sox.

In addition to 53 episodes on the HBO hit show, Schirripa appeared in 146 episodes of Blue Bloods and 110 episodes of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, among his numerous credits. He is also a New York Times best-selling author with such titles as A Goomba’s Guide to Life and Nicky Duece to his credit, along with co-writing Woke Up This Morning: The Definitive Oral History of The Sopranos.

The VIP Meet & Greet begins at 5 P.M. in the Geisinger Champions Club. Hear behind-the-scenes stories and some of his goomba life lessons! VIP Meet & Greet tickets include a Premium Infield Box ticket, an autographed photo with Schirripa, and a guaranteed bobblehead.
