Chesapeake Baysox News Release


BOWIE, Md. - The Bowie Baysox take the field with a team of caped crusaders as part of Superhero Night Sunday, July 11, as the Baysox take on the Trenton Thunder at 6:05 p.m. Superhero Night is the fourth exclusive event for members of Louie's Kids Club, featuring discounted tickets, a meet-and-greet session with everyone's favorite superheroes, the opportunity to take the field with the Baysox, goody bags, a raffle and free rides and games in Louie's Kids Park.

Club members and their parents can purchase lower reserved seat tickets in a special Superhero Section for $10 (regularly $14) and are invited to take part in a special superhero meet-and-greet in Louie's Kids Park from 4 p.m. until 5 p.m. Club members also receive wristbands that provide free access to the kids park during the game. To make the event even more epic for club members, a bunch of lucky young superheroes can take the field with the team for the national anthem. Space is limited, to register to take the field with the team fans can contact Baysox Community Programs Manager Dana DeFilippo at (301) 464-4871. Any club member who dresses as a superhero for the event is also entered into a raffle for a special Baysox prize.

DeFilippo had a great time at last year's Superhero Night. "I had a ton of fun hanging out with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Incredible Hulk, Flash, Batman and Superman last year," DeFilippo said. "I can hardly wait to see what superheroes show up this year, and it will be really cute seeing kids club members take the field with the Baysox in their superhero costumes."

Louie's Kids Club is FREE and easy to join! Any fan ages 12 and under can sign up at www.baysoxshop.com/kids/club/ or at any Baysox home game. The team hosts an exclusive kids club event each month of the season, and members receive a free gift at a future Baysox game, limit one per child per season. This year's gift is a 20-inch orange and black duffle bag featuring Louie and the Baysox script logo.

Fans can also meet real-life heroes in the parking lot before the game. The Maryland-National Capital Park Police, Bowie Police Department, Prince George's County Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Secret Service will set up stations in the parking lot at 4 p.m. Kids can pick up a card with all the stations on it, and as they visit each station the card will be marked. Any child who turns in a card with all the stations marked off is entered into a raffle to win a fabulous Baysox prize.

Baysox Promotions Manager Chris Rogers looks forward to having the law enforcement officials at the event. "I think it adds a lot to the event," Rogers said. "Superhero Night is already a lot of fun, but now kids can meet real-life role models who help people, just like superheroes do."

Like last year's Law and Order Night, fans can check out police motorcycles and squad cars; see bomb sniffing and narcotic dog demonstrations; and tour the Prince George's County Bearcat vehicle in the parking lot.

The Baysox have a special ticket offer for law enforcement agents, their families and supporters. The agents, their families and supporters can purchase upper reserved seat tickets for $7, (regularly $9-$11). The tickets must be purchased online at www.baysox.com with the special offer code "HEROES."

The United States Attorney's Office and the Office of the State's Attorney for Prince George's County will have displays inside the stadium.
