Sports Date Of The Week: Minor League Baseball Game

August 25th, 2010 | Posted by Queen of Sports in Baseball,Sports Date of the Week

On our favorite summer time activities is going to the ballpark to see a baseball game! Sitting outside, enjoying the beautiful weather with some of baseball signature treats – hot dogs, cracker jacks and peanuts is so much fun. So this week we encourage you take your guys (or get a group of girls together) and check out one of your local minor league baseball teams!

The cost of going to a minor league game is a lot less expensive than a major league game. You also get to check out some young talent and the teams typically run some fun promotions. Once you find the team in your area check out their gameday promotions schedule.

Here are a few highlights:

Be an “extra” while attending the Toledo Mud Hens (Aug 26 – 27): A new movie, Home Run Showdown is being shot at Fifth Field park this weekend. This is your chance to see Matthew Lillard and Dean Cain up close plus appearances by Jose Canseco and his twin brother Ozzie.

Stephen Strasburg figurine nights at Syracuse Chiefs (Aug 27): Before he was bumped up to the Nationals in the Major League, Stephen Strasburg played 12 games as a Chief and the team is honoring him by handing out 3,000 Strasburg figurines.

It’s Raining Money Night at Spokane Indians (Aug 29): 30 lucky fans will be chosen to participate in this fun promotion! $2,000 will be dropped from a helicopter and the 30 selected fans will be able to chase after the falling money all being dispersed in $1 denominations. If you do the math that means that one average, each person should walk away with $67. That will take care of your whole night at the ball park and then some!
