This promo will be a failure on so many levels if they don’t play the “Get him a body bag!” clip after every strikeout.

2. Chrissie Hynde Rock’n Bobblehead Giveaway – Saturday, June 28th at Akron RubberDucks

1. Field of Dreams/Fan Appreciation Day – Sunday, August 31st at Portland Sea Dogs
Possibly the best promotion in all of minor league baseball, Portland’s annual Field of Dreams game is a sight to see.
