This for the boy and girl scouts of the Jersey Shore. Neat concept actually. Scouts can design the patches the BlueClaws give out to scouts at the annual Scout Nights each summer.
The BlueClaws will accept submissions until March 5th, at which point voting will occur on the BlueClaws Facebook page.
Full details about the contest here. Below, find 10 years of BlueClaws scout patches.
As I type this (1:30pm, Tuesday), voting is underway on MiLB.com for their Team of the Year MiLBY Award, the BlueClaws rank 3rd behind Great Lakes and Augusta in the Team of the Year voting among Lo-A teams.
Great Lakes had a nice year. They won 90 games, most in the minors. But they were knocked out in the second round (of three) in the Midwest League playoffs. Augusta had a nice year too. But they didn’t even make the SAL playoffs.
Vote for the BlueClaws (early and often) to support the team that:
And of course, because you love them. Go BlueClaws! That is all.

Good luck!
We’ll post the entries here and on our Facebook page. Should be fun.

Well, sort of…The BlueClaws have partnered with Thunder 98.5 and Ace Outdoor Power Equipment for a program called Father Mows Best, through which you can win a lawn mower or other prizes.
The race winner will recieve a Husqvarna Self Propelled Walk Behind Mower, and all runner-ups will recieve a prize back courtesy of the Lakewood BlueClaws!
Enter for a chance to join the lawn mower race, which will be held between innings at the June 19th BlueClaws game. We said “sort of” above because you won’t actually get to cut the grass, but rather race lawn mowers. Should be an awesome event…
Sign up through Thunder 98.5 by clicking here.
Here’s your chance to win Opening Day tickets…
Just text BlueClaws to 87654 and be automatically entered to win four for the opener April 16th. We’ll alert the winner on April 13th.
If you already have Opening Day tickets, hang in there. Throughout the season, we’ll be running special texting promotions during BlueClaws games to give you the chance to win other prizes.
So we’ve gone mobile, and we hope you can play along!
It was very hard to pick two winners in our snowman contest. We had over 30 entries and really appreciated the support this contest had, but a contest is a contest. So without further adieu, our two winners (to see all of the entries, head over to our Facebook page):
Eyeballs: Arielle and Brian Budd…Toms River, NJ
Cards: Josh and Steve Tillander…Beachwood, NJ
Some others that we liked…
As 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.
Happy Building!
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…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!

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.
The 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.
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.
We’re going to start having weekly trivia contests here on BlueClaws Blog and in the process give away some Opening Day tickets and other prizes…Without further adieu, and with the BCS Championship football game coming up on Thursday night…
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.
