Minor League Baseball Giveaways
Up in Triple-A ball, the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs—the Philadelphia Phillies farm team—plan to give away T-shirts and hats, as do most teams. But the team also plans to give out bobbleheads of Pigs player Maikel Franco on a unicycle, soccer balls, hockey T-shirts, ice cream scoops and umbrellas.
Finally, just north of the Lehigh Valley, the New York Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders have a franchise-high 29 giveaways planned for the upcoming season. The team plans to give out T-shirts, a mascot pillow case, masks on “Superhero Night,” a Derek Jeter bobblehead and a Darth Vader-themed bobblehead for “Star Wars Night.” They will also hold “Princess and Pirate Night” in July.
