Chesapeake Baysox News Release


BOWIE, Md. - After Mother Nature stole the show from award-winning actress Betty White on Betty White Tribute Night Saturday, April 16, the Baysox announce today that the promotion will be made up Thursday, June 2, as the Baysox take on the Richmond Flying Squirrels at 7:05 p.m. The tribute includes a look-alike contest, on-field promotions based on White's career, video clips and trivia.

Baysox Community Programs Manager Dana DeFilippo helped plan the event. "It might have been Hot in Cleveland on April 16," DeFilippo said. "But it was pouring in Bowie. On the new tribute date, we will be Bringing Down the House with a promotion that will be nearly as popular as the Golden Girls."

The seven-time Emmy winning White has been known for many notable roles in her career and the Baysox will recognize several of them with special on-field promotions. Fans of all ages and genders are encouraged to dress like White for the evening. The fan who most closely resembles the star will be recognized on the dugout and wins a fabulous Baysox prize.

White appeared in 180 episodes of "The Golden Girls" as Rose Nylund. Nylund attended St. Olaf College in Minnesota, and a pair lucky fans can pay homage to the character with Rose Nyland's St. Olaf Race between innings. White also appeared in a popular Snickers commercial. One lucky fan will participate in the Snickers Football Challenge based on the commercial with the chance to win a sweet prize pack from Snickers. Fans can also look forward to Florence Dusty's Muffin Eating Contest, inspired by White's appearance as host of "Saturday Night Live" in May, 2010.

Throughout the event, the team will show video clips from White's acting career on the video board. Tickets for the Betty White Tribute Night and all Baysox home games are available now on www.baysox.com

Baysox Baseball - We'll Knock Your 'Sox Off. The Baysox 19th season as the class Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles is underway. Parking is free at every Baysox home game and tickets are now available at www.baysox.com or by calling the Baysox box office at (301) 464-4865.
