What are your favorite MiLB events (activities that involve the fans) and promo's (usually something given to fans)?

Promo's: I am a sucker for anything Bobble-Head. My favorite was the Wilmington Blue Rocks and the Vice-President Joe Biden bobble head. I especially like to have a player's bobble head in his MiLB uniform in my collection when he makes the majors.

Events:
1. Reading Municipal Memorial Stadium: From back in the day; Max Patkin, the Clown Prince of Baseball. If you are not familiar with Max, check out Bull Durham in which he performs.

2. Seen it in many MiLB stadiums: One of my family's favorites can be summed up in two words: Monkey Rodeo. Trained monkeys riding on the backs of border collies. The dog/monkey combinations herd sheep into a small corral.

3. My favorite: Wilmington Blue Rocks tribute to Judy Johnson, one of the Negro League's greats. This night has a silent auction of Negro League memorabilia, autograph sessions with Negro League players and vendors on the concourse selling anything Negro League. Last year for Fathers Day, my family gave me a game of my choice in which I would throw out the first pitch. I chose this game. It was great sharing this experience with four Negro Leaguers.

I really go to minor league games to watch the game and check out the stadium. I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to the events and promo’s.

However, the ones I remember that I liked and participated in were:

* Baseball bingo in Trenton
* The singing of ‘Sweet Caroline’ in the 8th inning in Greenville (I did not partake because I had no clue what was going on). I do now.
* Watching the real osprey’s in Missoula (this is not staged or planned by the organization)
* Fireworks are always nice (except for the crowd)

Congrats you got to throw out the first pitch in Wilmington and on a wonderful occasion.
