Another Hall of Famer

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

That’s all we do here, bring in Hall of Famers. Last night, for those of you that missed WWE’s Monday Night Raw, Ted DiBiase, the Million Dollar Man, was announced as a part of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2010. He will be inducted at Wrestlemania (March 27th in Phoenix).

BlueClaws connection: The Million Dollar Man will be joining us here at FirstEnergy Park on June 19th for a special autograph signing.

Of course, as we’ve noted here before, Andre Dawson, who will be inducted this summer into the Baseball Hall of Fame, will also be joining us here at FirstEnergy Park. That’s 2-2. Anyone else looking to make their Hall of Fame? Give us a ring.

Hall of Fame tally…on the baseball side, we’ve brought in the following: Steve Carlton, Bob Feller, Goose Gossage, Jim Rice.

And on the wrestling side, the following Hall of Famers have been at BlueClaws games: Sgt Slaughter, George “The Animal” Steele, and now the Million Dollar Man.

Enjoy the Million Dollar Man theme song:

February Offer for Little League Teams

Monday, February 1st, 2010

future-blueclaws-howard2In the accompanying picture to this post, you see two lucky Little Leaguers with Ryan Howard, during his rehab in Lakewood in May of 2007. These Little Leaguers took advantage of the Future BlueClaws program, and others have taken advantage of the ClawStars program, through which teams can play catch on the field before the game. Along those lines,

Any Little League team that books a Future BlueClaws or ClawStars outing through the end of February will receive two free hours in the batting cage.

For more information on these outings, please click here, or call 732-901-7000, option three.

The BlueClaws have released a bunch of the 2010 promo nights so far (click here) with many more still to come leading into Opening Day…Thought this would be a good time to take a shot on building my own Bushel of BlueClaws ticket package, selecting seven games of my choosing. For no reason, here you go…

  1. April 16th: Opening Night, raising of the championship banner
  2. May 8th: Bark in the Park (bring your dog to the game, photos here)
  3. June 5th: Firefighter Night (photos here)
  4. July 1st: Andre Dawson autograph signing
  5. July 3rd: Jumbo fireworks for 4th of July (team is away on the 4th)
  6. July 22nd: Dusty Wathan SAL Championship Bobblehead Doll
  7. August 17th: Team card set giveaway

Thoughts? You can build your own Bushel using the above schedule and this order form.

2010: What’s New?

Monday, January 4th, 2010

happy2010New year and some new stuff for BlueClaws fans this year, from a ticket standpoint, promotional standpoint, baseball standpoint, and a lot more. Let’s take a look…

Tickets

  • Bushel of Yankees…it’s a Bushel of BlueClaws package but includes six games against Charleston, the Yankees affiliate, plus Opening Day…chance to see a World Series affiliate rematch with some young Phillies prospects and some young Yankees prospects.
  • Thirsty Thursday Club…10 undated tickets to Thursday home games, plus a free t-shirt and membership card good for drink discounts on several nights throughout the season. Chance to take advantage of our most exciting promotion.
  • All-You-Can-Eat…sure, it’s not “new,” but it is different. This package was previously a Thursday-only plan, but now includes a few Fridays, Saturdays, and others. So that’s new. All-you-can-eat hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, chips, soda at nine games. Here is an order form.

Promotions

Team

  • Mark Parent takes over as the skipper (click here for info)

Logo

  • Of course we have a new logo this year, which will also mean new uniforms
  • In years past, the BlueClaws home unis have had pinstripes…These are gone
  • Navy used to be for the BP tops and red the alternate jersey…Now, red is the BP top and the alternate jersey will be navy
  • Home whites (no pinstripe, says BlueClaws across chest)…road grays (says Lakewood across chest)…alt navy (says ‘Claws across chest)
