The St. Joseph Mustangs open play next month and after teasing a number of promotions through the St. Joseph Mustangs social media accounts, the full schedule of 2015 promotions has now been released by St. Joe’s summer college baseball team.
The upcoming promotional year features a slew of fireworks, charitable jersey auctions, giveaways, and character appearances. Mustang fans will also find some crowd favorites returning to the ball park this season.
Mustang fans will find Sluggerrr (mascot of the Kansas City Royals), KC Wolf (mascot of the Kansas City Chiefs), Minions, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, superheroes Captain America & Iron Man and other characters roaming Phil Welch this season. Giveaways include t-shirts and Christmas ornaments. Also scheduled for this year is a Date Night for Fathers & Daughters with a special on field fireworks viewing, Baby Crawling Race with free diapers and a Mustangs onesie as a prize, plus two weddings. The Mustangs will also celebrate the St. Joseph Fire Departments 150th anniversary with a special Mustangs jersey as well as free tickets for SJFD employees.
Mustangs General Manager Ky Turner said, “We’ve got a little bit of something for everyone this year. Not only do you get to see great baseball on the field, but there many opportunities to enjoy yourself and be part of a fun atmosphere. We are determined to continue to be one of the top family destinations in the area, and I think this promotional calendar reflects that.
The Mustangs begin play on May 27th, facing the Carroll (Iowa) Merchants. Gates will open at 5:30 pm, and first pitch is schedule for 7pm.
