Snowman Contest

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

snowman-blueclaws1As you know, we have some snow on the ground here at the Jersey Shore. And as you know, more is on the way. So what does this mean to you? It means you have the chance to have some fun and win some prizes.

The BlueClaws will be having a Snowman Contest. Here are the rules.

  • Build a snowman that is in some way related to the BlueClaws (wearing BlueClaws gear, holding a BlueClaws sign, etc). How the snowman is BlueClaws related is entirely up to you.
  • Take a picture(s).
  • Email them to dfoley@blueclaws.com.
  • We’ll select two winners.
  • Each will receive two tickets to a BlueClaws game and a ceremonial first pitch on the field that day.
  • Deadline to email in the pictures is Monday, February 15th at 5 pm.

Happy Building!

Trivia Contest (UPDATE: Winner)

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

applauseBack with another trivia contest…Again, weekly feature with various prizes including Opening Day tickets, merchandise, and other goodies. Today, however, like last week, the winner will get four tickets to Opening Day.

Answer in the comments section please…Inspired by the current late-night-tv drama…

Which former BlueClaws manager was the subject of a late-night-tv recurring joke during his Major League playing career?

Again, please answer in the comments section.

Update: It was indeed Buddy Biancalana, the subject of the Buddy Bianacalana Hit Watch on the Letterman Show, during the same time as the Pete Rose hit watch that everyone else was doing. Kevin wins the tickets. Congrats!

Trivia Contest (UPDATED: Winner)

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Back with another trivia contest…Again, weekly feature with various prizes including Opening Day tickets, merchandise, and other goodies. Today, however, like last week, the winner will get four tickets to Opening Day.

Answer in the comments section please…

He was on the first bobblehead doll the BlueClaws ever gave away.

The answer appears somewhere on BlueClaws.com (hint…look on the left side of your screen).

UPDATE: We have a winner, the answer was Buster. First to answer won the tickets. Sorry forgot to update the main post. We had it in the comments section. Another one next week.

Vote BlueClaws for Best Hot Dog!

Monday, January 11th, 2010

metromix-nominatedThe good folks at Metromix Jersey Shore are putting on a Best Of contest, and the BlueClaws have been nominated for best area hot dog.

Head over to their site and vote for us here.

The BlueClaws hot dogs were made famous in 2009 through the Kids Eat Free All Year program, which gave out 71,988 (7.95 miles officially) hot dogs for free to area children, ages 12 and under.

  • 7.95 miles is: 24 laps around the FirstEnergy Park concourse
  • 7.95 miles is: 3 laps of the Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia historic sites
  • 7.95 miles is: 4 trips across Midtown Manhattan
  • 7.95 miles is: 29 trips from bottom to top of the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower)

A personal favorite…if Joey Chestnut, who won the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest this year, ate hit dogs at the same rate he did that day (68 in 10 minutes), it would take him 7 days, 8 hours, and 26 minutes to reach 71,988.

Who is the only 2009 BlueClaw who played at one of the schools represented in Thursday’s BCS Championship Game between Alabama and Texas? Name the player and the school.

Answer in the comments section please. First correct answer will win four Opening Day tickets (April 16th). The answer is somewhere on BlueClaws.com.

UPDATE: A bunch of correct answers, but John was the first to answer Austin Hyatta, Alabama. He wins the tickets. We’ll have another one of these next week.

BlueClaws & Thunder Make World Series Bet to Benefit One Lucky Fan

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

choosechampwebIt’s the first Choose Your Champ contest. As part of the first Turnpike Series, or in the case of NJ’s two affiliated Minor League Baseball teams, the 195 Series, the BlueClaws and Trenton Thunder have entered into a wager through which one lucky fan will win an all-expense paid trip to Opening Day 2010!

To enter, all you have to do is email chooseyourchamp@trentonthunder.com with the following:

  • The World Series winner
  • Number of games the series lasts
  • The MVP

We’ll take all the winners, and one will be randomly selected…Here’s the kicker…

  • If the Phillies win, the Thunder will pay for the winner’s trip to Opening Day 2010 in Philadelphia.
  • If the Yankees win, the BlueClaws will pay for the winner’s trip to Opening Day 2010 at Yankee Stadium.

Good luck!
