Mobile’s own Cleon Jones was the guest of honor at Kazoola “After 5” Seafood Fest this past weekend. On Sunday, July 5th, the downtown spot hosted a special community meet-and-greet dedicated to the hometown hero.
For Mobilians ,Jones remains a foundational pillar of the community . Beyond famously catching the final out for the 1969 “Miracle Mets” World Series championship team, his enduring legacy is his decades-long dedication to civic leadership and neighborhood restoration right here at home.
The event paired the celebration with a heavy kitchen layout , serving up fresh fish, shrimp, and oysters while a live DJ played throughout the evening.
It gave locals a chance to share space, take photos, and celebrate a living icon whose impact on and off the field continues to shape the city.
