Mahoning Valley Scrappers will change name to Mahoning Valley Peppers in Oil for July 31 game
The Mahoning Valley Scrappers will change their name.
For one night that is.
Why is the team changing its name for one night?
The Scrappers announced in a press release on July 31 that the team will change its name to the Mahoning Valley Peppers in Oil in a promotion by the Italian Food Trail in Trumbull County.
The appetizer will be featured on newly designed game worn jerseys, retail hats and shirts.
The Peppers in Oil jerseys will be auctioned off at the July 31 Scrappers game in a silent auction and through LiveSourceApp.com.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit the United Way of Trumbull County. The Peppers in Oil Jersey is the fourth of eight specialty jerseys to be worn during the 2023 season.
What is the history of Peppers in Oil?
Peppers in Oil became popular in the United States back in the late 19th century; an ethnic cultural food recipe favorite and introduced by European immigrants. Locally, the Brier-Hill (Little Italy) community of Youngstown is one area where the most influence triumphed in regards to the art of gardening, cultivating and canning the mild to spicy peppers in oil.
“This is a unique and fun way to share one of our most iconic regional dishes with both visitors and residents. Come out to the ballpark for a taste of what Trumbull County has to offer,” says Beth Kotwis Carmichael, Executive Director of Trumbull County Tourism.
