Long Island Ducks’ QuackerJack, visited Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center on Valentine’s Day. He distributed carnations and pennants for patients and their families in the Medical Center’s Geriatric and Pediatric Units. The patients were delighted to meet QuackerJack on this special day. “Most people think Valentine’s Day is just about spending time with their significant other,” said Ducks General Manager Michael Hirsch. “We like to think of it more as letting the people who matter the most to us know how we feel. The people of Long Island, especially the kids, mean the most to us, so we visited Good Sam to let them know we’re thinking of them.” Join Good Samaritan on May 21 as we celebrate “Good Sam Night” at Citibank Park in Central Islip.
