Governor Markell threw out a ceremonial first pitch to the new Delaware Sports
Commission at Frawley Stadium. Commission board chairman Linda Parkowski says Delaware is
attractive because of its location.
Officials say the economic benefits of attracting professional, amateur and youth
sporting events are immense.
The sports commission has already worked on bringing the U.S. Figure Skating
Championships to the state this month.
