Reno Silver Sox News Release
The Reno Silver Sox are pleased to announce that, as per the voting of the fans, the Famous Chicken will be making an appearance at the Silver Sox game on July 11, 2007.
The Famous Chicken has been a staple in the Baseball Community since it made its first appearance at a San Diego Padres game in June 1979. Entering the field in a 10 foot Styrofoam egg atop of a armored truck, and with a highway patrol police escort, the Chicken hatched in front of 47,000 people. To this day, "The Grand Hatching" has been called by baseball historians as one of the "greatest public relations spectacles in the game's history."
The Chicken has visited eight countries, four continents, and all fifty states. The Chicken's career staple has been his live shows. He has performed at more than 8,500 games and has more than 17,000 total appearances when parades, trade shows, banquets, conventions, TV, and radio dates are factored in. Bringing the grand total of people he has performed in front of over 60 million.
The Famous Chicken will be brought to Reno courtesy of Saint Mary?s. That same night will also be Saint Mary?s Employee Night, where sunscreen will be passed out to fans entering the gates.
The game is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. against the Long Beach Armada. During the game, the Famous Chicken will be performing throughout the game providing what should be one of the greatest and funniest Silver Sox games for years to come.
