Spokane Indians News: September 1 - September 7, 2024

Spokane Indians, the High-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, have had a notable week in Minor League Baseball. Here are some highlights from their recent performances:

Charlie Condon's Stellar Debut

One of the standout moments came from Charlie Condon, the No. 3 pick in the 2024 Draft. After a hitless professional debut, Condon bounced back with a four-hit night, including his first professional home run, helping the Indians secure a 7-0 win over Tri-City. His impressive performance included a double, two singles, and his first stolen base, showcasing his versatility and potential.

Tribute to King Carl Maxey

Beyond their on-field success, the Spokane Indians have also made headlines with their tribute to local legend Carl Maxey. The team unveiled their "King Carl" alternate identity, a nod to Maxey's remarkable life story. Born in 1924, Maxey overcame a difficult childhood to become a boxing champion, lawyer, and civil rights leader. The Indians will wear the King Carl uniforms on two occasions this season, with a portion of the merchandise sales going to the Carl Maxey Center fund to support the local community.
