IRONPIGS UNVEIL PRELIMINARY 2012 PROMOTIONAL SCHEDULE

The IronPigs released their preliminary promo schedule this afternoon and it’s chock-full of goodies including the above mentioned Richie T Bobblehead. Nice to see Richie T is getting his much warranted bobble.

Highlights include a couple of 5th Anniversary items, bronze statues of Ryno and Harry the K, even a Ferrous “bobblebelly” and much more. My personal favorite is the Vance Worley replica glasses give-away on May 17th – looking forward to 3000 wild Vanimals roaming Coca Cola Park.

Bill Butler As Carl Spackler

The Woodchucks will be the “What could have been” theme o’ the year – thank goodness we are IronPigs! I could picture Bill Butler, Director of Field Operations donning his best Carl Spackler outfit.

Although it would have been comical hearing Matt Provence utter “He Punxsutawnied that one – forget about it” or to see what concoction Executive Chef Jan Giejda might have come up with. What could have been…

Kudos to the IronPigs’ staff for bringing us the best selection of promo items yet!

Three months until we bring the Noise!

Go Pigs!

Perez to Brewers

Just noticed on Baseball America’s Minor League Free Agent Tracker that former IronPig Juan Perez has been signed by the Brewers organization.

The outfield fans breath a sigh of relief. (No pun intended)
