“The Golden Bachelor” star Gerry Turner is back in the dating game.

At the Fort Wayne TinCaps Love and Roses Night on May 17, the team will host a VIP experience with the 72-year-old reality TV star that will include a Q&A session.

THE The VIP ticket package, priced at $50, also includes a meet and greet with each guest getting the chance to take a photo with Turner – who lives in Hudson, Indiana – a glass of Love and Roses wine and a ticket to the game.

That evening’s game against the South Bend Cubs will feature a hometown date competition for 21-and-older singles in which five women and five men will compete in infield promotions , like the “Falling in Love Dizzy Bat” challenge. Based on their performance in the promotions, one woman and one man will be selected to watch the post-game fireworks that evening from the field and they will receive a date package to Fort Wayne.

The team is billing the event as the first promotion of its kind in Minor League Baseball.
