With the arrival of baseball season comes the arrival of
promotional giveaway items. I, like pretty much every everybody, love getting
free stuff when I go to sporting events. It’s like being rewarded for taking
the time to purchase a ticket and head to the stadium to cheer on your favorite
team.
In my opinion, the Cincinnati Reds are the best when it
comes to giving out free items at sporting events. The Florence Freedom, the
Cincinnati Cyclones, and the local colleges in the Cincinnati area have
giveaways as well, but the Reds have seemed to master the art of bribing the
fans into purchasing tickets to games. Don’t believe me? Continue reading. I am
going to list some of the giveaway items the Reds will have for the 2015
season. By the end of this post, you will probably want to go to at least one
of these games to add the item they are giving out to your Reds memorabilia
collection.
The first item the Reds will give out will be on Wednesday,
April 8. Aside from it being Opening Night, the Reds will be handing out free
2015 team calendars. Is it the best giveaway? Far from it. Is it a cool item
that would make any Reds fan happy? You bet.
Now while the calendar might not be the greatest of
giveaways, there is no denying that everybody loves free t-shirts. This season,
the Reds will be having T-Shirt Tuesdays. On these days, fans can purchase a
Terrace Line ticket for $25. Included with this ticket purchase is a free Reds
t-shirt that features a Reds player on it. T-shirt Tuesdays will happen on
various Tuesdays throughout the season, so if you are interested, check the
promotional schedule of the Reds to see when the Reds will have this promotion.
Also being given out this year is a Reds stein. Previous
steins that the Reds have given out usually look great, and with this year
being the season in which the Reds host the All-Star game, you got to believe
that the stein will look incredible as well as be a great way to have a few
beers during the game. The stein will be given out on Saturday, September 5.
If you are a fan of the Big Red Machine (and who isn’t?),
then you will definitely want to buy a ticket for the game that takes place on
Saturday, August 22. That will be “Tony Perez Day” as the Reds plan to unveil a
bronze statue of “the Big Dog” as well as give out a smaller replica version of
the statue to the fans in attendance.
The best giveaway items that the Reds give out are
bobbleheads, and this season, the Reds will give out nine different nodders
that feature both current and past fan favorite players. So far, seven of the
nine bobbleheads have been announced. Personally, I am stoked for the Nasty
Boys triple bobblehead and the first ever Reds nodder of the “Punxsutawney
Powerhouse,” Devin Mesoraco. To see the complete list of bobbleheads, check the
promotional schedule of the Reds by clicking here.
Those are some of the giveaway items the Reds will hand out
to fans this season. They are great pieces of sports memorabilia to add to your
collection, and they make going to the game much more exciting. I love going to
Reds games, and I love collecting sports memorabilia so, you can bet that I
will be attending some of these games. I hope to see you there.
Go Redlegs!
