Bowie Baysox News Release
BOWIE, Md. - BOWIE, Md. - The Bowie Baysox announce today the Al Bumbry Bobblehead Giveaway as the Baysox take on the Binghamton Mets at Prince George's Stadium Thursday, July 19, at 7:05 p.m. The first 500 fans ages 13 and up will receive the bobbling rendition of the former Baltimore Orioles centerfielder and Baysox coach. Bumbry will also be in attendance to sign autographs and pose for photos.
Baysox Assistant General Manager Phil Wrye is looking forward to hosting the Baysox legend. "It's great to be able to welcome a Baysox and Orioles great back to Prince George's Stadium," Wrye said. "This is our second bobblehead giveaway of the season and I think it will be the perfect way to celebrate our 20th season with a coach from one of the original Baysox teams."
Bumbry spent 13 of his 14 major league seasons with the Orioles and was the bench coach in Bowie for the 1994 season, which was the first year the team played at Prince George's Stadium. He is the father of current Frederick Keys centerfielder Steven Bumbry, who played in 29 games for the Baysox this season. Bumbry will throw out a ceremonial first pitch before the game and will pose for pictures and sign autographs for fans during the game.
The Baysox have two more bobblehead giveaways scheduled for later in the season: DC101 Elliot in the Morning Night with Elliot Segal bobblehead giveaway will be Wednesday, August 1 and the Matt Wieters Gold Glove Bobblearm giveaway will be Wednesday, August 15.
