New Orleans Baby Cakes News Release


METAIRIE - The New Orleans Zephyrs are featured in a scene in the movie "Failure To Launch," which opened nationwide Friday.

The three-minute scene takes place with the film's stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew McConaughey attending a baseball game filmed at Zephyr Field in the summer of 2005.

The scene shows Zephyrs shortstop Jason Bowers turning a double play against the Omaha Royals and Zephyrs mascot Boudreaux leading the crowd in a cheer.

"It's very exciting to see our ballpark, players and mascot featured in a major motion picture," said Zephyrs General Manager Mike Schline.

Filmed during a series against the Royals in 2005, Zephyrs staff members and players donned Zephyrs and Royals uniforms to film the double play and also a home run later cut from the movie.

The Zephyrs open at Zephyr Field 7 p.m. April 6 against the Round Rock Express.
