Pulaski Mariners News Release
PULASKI - The Pulaski Mariners have announced August 21 as a night of 50 promotions.
They will have everything from an old cellphone collection to an Ebay auction of an autographed bat. In addition, it will be spirit night at the ballpark.
The director of baseball operations, Marty Gordon, wants everyone to wear navy blue to the game. "We want a blue-out evening." He also encouraged everyone to be part of hat night at the ballpark. "We want a sea of blue in the stands along with hats everywhere."
The festivities also include the "grand re-opening of Calfee Park" with a ribboncutting and special opening ceremonies. "We will also announce a Mariner fan of the year award shortly before the game," said Gordon.
The night does not stop there. The team will also hold a bad-gift exchange. Anyone can bring the worse gift they have ever received and exchange it for something from the team's prize vault.
