* Ginger Appreciation Day * DEAL: Times Family Sunday * Kids Run the Bases
The RailCats will have extra sunscreen on hand on this night as we celebrate our fine, fair-skinned friends with red hair and freckles known as gingers. The term "ginger" has often been used in attempts to make light of these fine individuals but the RailCats are dedicating an entire night to build-up these awesome people. Many are not aware that redheads are typically believed to be highly artistic, fierce fighters, who have a greater than average tolerance for pain so join the RailCats as we look to celebrate the many contributions of the entire Ginger Community! Also don't forget that every Sunday is a Times Family Day here at the ballpark, so look for the Family Day coupon in The Times and bring it to U. S. Steel Yard to get four box seat tickets, four hot dogs and four sodas for just $36! Sunday also means kids run the bases after the game but make sure the little ones have their shoes tied!

* GIVEAWAY: Mustache * Mustache Monday * Dollar Monday sponsored by NIEMI Associates

Start grooming your mustache to make sure it's ready for the RailCats first-annual Mustachathon where the best RailCats mustache will square off with the best 'stache sported by a fan!
