7. Celebrate an Anniversary
In sports, there are many anniversaries. This season the St. Louis Cardinals are celebrating the team's 1964 World Series win with various giveaways, including a replica World Series ring, while the Cincinnati Reds will commemorate Ken Griffey Jr.'s 500th home run with a bobblehead this month. Meanwhile, the Phillies celebrated its 10th anniversary at Citizens Bank Park with an opening day banner of the ballpark. Then on kids' opening day, the team gave out a baseball and collectible tin to children ages 14 and younger. "The images on the ball and tin reflected our highlights from the first 10 years here," Brandreth mentioned. "There's an image of Brad Lidge when we won the World Series [in 2008]. There's an image of Jim Thome's 400th home run, which happened the first year of the ballpark."
