Amarillo Sod Poodles News Release


AMARILLO, TX - The Amarillo Sod Poodles are back at HODGETOWN with a six-game series against the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (Double-A, Kansas City Royals) set to begin on Tuesday, May 19. An exciting week of promotions, theme nights, and giveaways highlights a week in which the Soddies return home in good form as they chase down Midland for the Texas League South First Half title.

Featured among this week's promotions is 25 Cent Hot Dog Night. Taking place on Wednesday May 20, fans can enjoy as many hot dogs as they desire for 25 cents each at any HODGETOWN concession stand. Additionally, the first 1,500 fans inside the ballpark will get a free hot dog courtesy of Steam Team.

Once the weekend rolls around, the Soddies will don Toy Story-themed jerseys, their first specialty jersey of the year, on Saturday night. Following the action, the jerseys will be autographed by all players and coaches and select tops will be auctioned off live in the Fairly Group Club Level to benefit the Don Harrington Discovery Center. All other jerseys will be posted for auction online and will take bids until Sunday night. The series closes out with a special giveaway on Sunday afternoon as the first 1,200 fans (13+) through the HODGETOWN gates will receive a bobblehead of top Arizona Diamondbacks prospect, Ryan Waldschmidt.
