March 22, 2016 - Northwest League (NWL1)
Everett AquaSox News Release
The 2016 AquaSox season promises to be another fantastic one at Everett Memorial Stadium! Your Everett AquaSox are excited to reveal the details for Opening Day and Opening Weekend. The weekend will include giveaways, fireworks, an appearance by an amazing person, and much more!
The Opening Day fun kicks off on Thursday, June 23rd. First Pitch is at 7:05 PM, and the first 1,000 fans through the gates will receive a 2016 AquaSox magnet schedule. It is also a Tasty Thursday with hot dogs, popcorn, sodas, and beer for only $2 each!
The fun continues on Friday, June 24th, with an appearance by Daniel Smith - the Amazing Rubber Boy! Daniel holds the Guinness World Record for the "Most Flexible Man". The Rubber Boy is amazing, entertaining, and funny! He has appeared in ballparks and arenas from coast to coast. Friday night will also include our AquaSox Gnome giveaway presented by Tulalip Resort Casino. This fun and unique giveaway will be for the first 500 fans ages 18 and up. If the Rubber Boy and a giveaway are not enough, we finish the night with the first of our postgame Fireworks Shows of the 2016 season. The fireworks shows are presented from center field so you are up close and personal - it's literally an "in-your-face" fireworks spectacular.
After all the fun on Friday, the AquaSox will follow that up with a giveaway honoring Ken Griffey Jr. on June 25th. That Saturday will be our first salute to the 2016 Hall of Fame inductee. Griffey had his first professional hit right here at Everett Memorial Stadium - a homerun over the left field fence. There is a plaque behind the fence that commemorates this historic feat, and the first 1,000 fans through the gates will receive a replica of this plaque presented by NECA/IBEW.
The weekend concludes on Sunday, June 26th with a 4:05 PM first pitch. This will be the first Hawaiian Night presented by Kam'aina Grindz. Wear your lucky Hawaiian shirt to win a great prize! The first 500 fans through the gates will also receive an AquaSox T-shirt courtesy of Caliber Home Loans.
"We could not be more excited to start the 2016 with such an outstanding lineup for our Opening Weekend" stated AquaSox General Manager Danny Tetzlaff, "this is just the beginning of the fun - 2016 is going to be a season of fun to remember!"
