Baysox have full lineup of promotions this season

Baysox LogoThe Bowie Baysox announce today the full promotional schedule for the 2014 season. The schedule includes 18 fireworks nights, a number of family-friendly events, multiple giveaways, recurring weekday events and a wide variety of fun theme nights. 

Baysox Promotions Manager Chris Rogers is excited to unveil some new theme nights this season. “The fireworks nights are always fan favorites, but we have plenty of other great events planned this season to ensure our fans are always entertained,” Rogers said.  “The World Cup only comes around once every four years so we are certainly not going to miss an opportunity to break out the vuvuzelas and celebrate international soccer in style. Fans may also want to ride down in their very own Batmobile, or at least see an authentic replica, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Batman on Superhero Night in July.”

The 2014 promo schedule is a mixture of popular events from past seasons and new ideas that everyone is sure to enjoy. The popular Star Wars Night with actors in movie quality costumes is back along with a new and improved Mustache Mania Night that will feature a celebration of Charlie Chaplin’s 125th birthday. New in 2014, the Mother/Son Night Out will be joining the always popular Daddy/Daughter Date Night on the schedule along with a Baysox concerted effort to Knock Cancer Out of the Park in May and a tribute to new host of “The Tonight Show” Jimmy Fallon in July.

While the whole family can enjoy fireworks, the Baysox have a slew of activities planned for younger fans. On Kid’s Opening Night in April, there will be a book giveaway presented by Scholastic plus free raffles and unique ballpark experiences just for kids. Later in the season, kids can learn to play tennis with the United States Tennis Association on Aces & Bases night, where there will be a tennis beach ball giveaway. In addition to specific theme nights, younger fans can enjoy special exclusive events for members of Louie’s Kids Club each month of the season. Back for a second season, all Kids Club members can again eat free on Sundays with a special ticket purchased online in advance. Kids Club membership is free and more information is available at www.baysox.com.
