Myrtle Beach Pelicans News Release


2013 Myrtle Beach Pelicans baseball card sets are now available in the Pelicans Merchandise Store at TicketReturn.com Field. About 500 of the team sets include a Rougned Odor "scratch and sniff" BubbleGum baseball card. Nearly 250 of those are autographed by the all-star second baseman.

"We wanted to keep the fun in our Team Sets and play on Odor's last name," said Dan Bailey, the Pelicans Merchandise Manager. "We decided it would be a good fit to make the "Odor" card being a scratch and sniff."

The team sets are currently selling for $12 in the Team Store. The Odor cards are randomly inserted into the decks.

"Odor is one of the top prospects in the Rangers system and clearly has a bright future," Pelicans Vice President and General Manager Andy Milovich said. "This is a unique card for a young man who is just beginning his quest to make it to the Big Leagues."

He was recently selected for the Futures Final Man vote for the 2013 Futures Game to be played in New York City on July 14.
