RENO, Nev.– For the first time in club history, four Reno Aces baseball games this summer will be televised live on my21 TV in Reno, the organization announced today.

The partnership between the Aces and my21 TV was finalized this month, and the collaboration will give fans throughout the region the opportunity to see Aces baseball from the comfort of their homes.

“As our team continues to evolve and prosper, we are dedicated to finding new ways to entertain our ever-growing fan base,” said Aces Managing Partner Stuart Katzoff. “Broadcasting games on television is a logical next step for us, and my21 TV is the perfect fit. We’re excited to get our first broadcast on the air.”

The 2011 television lineup kicks-off on July 21, when the Aces take on the Fresno Grizzlies, Triple-A Affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. Later in the month, the broadcast will feature the Silver State Diamond Challenge on July 29, with the Aces battling the Las Vegas 51s. The schedule continues on Aug. 6, when Reno matches up with the Memphis Redbirds, Triple-A Affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. The 2011 television slate will come to a close on Sept. 1 against Fresno-in a game that could potentially have major Pacific Coast League playoff implications.

“my21 TV is committed to bringing Northern Nevada local sports coverage,” said Vice President & General Manager of COX Media Group, Reno, Steve Cummings. “Our partnership with the Reno Aces will continue that commitment.”

The Voice of the Aces, Ryan Radtke, will handle play-by-play duties for each broadcast. my21 TV can be found over the air on channel 21.1, on cable channel 7, HD 721, as well as the Dish Network and DirectTV.

The first-place Aces continue a four-game series with the Tucson Padres at Aces Ballpark tonight. Tickets can be purchased at the Aces Ballpark Box Office, online at www.RenoAces.com or by phone at (775) 334-7000.

The best thing about animals is that they don’t talk much.

Love is an energy which exists of itself. It is its own value.

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

When God loves a creature he wants the creature to know the highest happiness and the deepest misery He wants him to know all that being alive can bring. That is his best gift. There is no happiness save in understanding the whole.

I am convinced that, except in a few extraordinary cases, one form or another of an unhappy childhood is essential to the formation of exceptional gifts.

When you’re safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you’re having an adventure you wish you were safe at home.

Marriage is a bribe to make the housekeeper think she’s a householder.
