Earlier this past week we looked at all of the promotions from the New York Mets for the month of April. I have gone through all 30 major league teams, and I have found some interesting promotions from other teams to share. First off, (interesting fact) the only teams that are not advertising a schedule magnet as a promotion are the Red Sox, the Jays and the Phillies. Some trends to look at in this list include the amount of teams that are giving out “sluggies” or the baseball version of the Snuggie (as seen on TV). Anyway, here are some promotional highlights:
4/6 – LAA: Matsui Blankee (a red blanket covered with the number 55 on it, and I am pretty sure this blanket has sleeves)
4/7 – Tampa Bay: You know those really cool glasses that their manager wears? Yeah they are giving away those.
4/7 – Cinncinnatti: Their version of the snuggie.
4/8 – LAA: Manager of the Year Bust
4/10 – Kansas City: A beautiful Replica Blue Royal Jersey
4/10 – Houston: A fantastic Astros' throwback jersey
4/12 – Minnesota: An Opening Day Certificate for Target Field
4/15 – Oakland: Team “Sluggie”
4/16 – Seattle: Ken “The Kid” Griffy Jr Bobblehead. It features him as a young kid, with his old uniform, says “The Kid” and has the old stadium in the background.
4/17 – Seattle: Seattle Mariners military coins
4/17 – Oakland: Roy Steele (announcer) bobblehead. What is neat here is Steel is sitting at his desk.
4/22 – Pittsburgh: They really want to go green. Fans will get a green hat AND a green shirt at this game.
4/23 – San Francisco: Their version of a snuggie.
4/24 – Cinncinnatti: Reds' Turf Grower
4/25 – Texas: Andrus Jersey and it looks really nice.
4/30 – Cubs: The “W” Banner
4/30 – St. Louis: They also have a snuggie.
4/30 – Detroit: Justin Verlander Bobblehead, where the base is a counter to keep track of Verlander's strikeouts
