2008 Promotions: Dollar Dogs, Disco, Dreidels
The Phillies have announced their giveaway and celebration days for 2008.
Dates to remember:
March 31 vs Washington – Opening day. Phillies will raise the NL East Champion banner and fans will get replicas. I just love saying that first part.
April 2 vs Washington – Opening night. Maroon old-school shirts with “Opening Night 2008” emblazoned on the back. Methinks this will be the hot shirt for 2008. Also, yes, one of the best nights ever, a Dollar Dog Night.
Other Dollar Dog Nights:
April 15 (Tues.)
April 29 (Tues.)
May 13 (Tues.)
May 26 (Mon.)
June 3 (Tues.)
Aug. 19 (Tues.)
Sept. 9 (Tues.)
April 3 vs. Washington – First showing of pinstripe-less alternate uniform (against a team with almost the same kind of uniform).
April 30 vs. San Diego – Jamie Moyer bobblehead day. Awesome.
May 3 vs San Francisco – Chase Utley life-size growth chart. If you go, steal one of these for children 14-and-under and give it to your girlfriend, I promise you she’ll make it worth your while.
May 16 vs Toronto – Irish celebration. If you go, wear a “Kiss Me I’m Irish” pin and walk around Ashburn Alley all night, I promise you your girlfriend will break up with you.
May 18 vs Toronto – Phanatic’s birthday. Always a good day at the park.
June 1 vs Florida – “Father’s Day” game. Take dad.
June 4 vs Cincinnati – Boast to Reds fans about how Jimmy Rollins is better than Barry Larkin as you hold up your Rollins MVP bobblehead.
July 9 vs St. Louis and July 11 vs Arizona – Fireworks nights.
July 12 vs Arizona – Italian celebration. Wear a tight T-shirt, spike your hair and tan yourself before going. Also, make stupid gestures. Just kidding, Italians.
July 13 vs Arizona – Shane Victorino “Flyin’ Hawaiian” Figurine. Back by popular demand, Vic’s getting Run No. 2 as a Bobblehip . Hopefully he nails another game-winner.
Aug. 5 vs Florida – Ladies Night. I hear they’ll install a pole in left field for Burrell to get the mood started. I’m already getting a bunch of guys together so we can go and hit on chicks.
Aug. 22 vs Dodgers – 1970s Retro Night. I cannot wait.
They’re also throwing in a Jewish Heritage night to go along with the Irish, Itaian and Hispanic nights. I hope Mike Lieberthal returns for that one. Mark down your calendars, fans, which games are you heading to?
