SALEM, Va. - The Salem Red Sox are excited to announce that former Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer will be making an appearance at LewisGale Field on Friday, August 5.

To honor the occasion, a special edition Beamer bobblehead will be given out to fans that purchase a Beamer Pack. The pack includes two tickets to the game on August 5, one Beamer bobblehead and a $2 donation to Beamer's foundation, Herma's Readers.

All combined, the pack is available for $22. Season ticket holders who already have tickets for the August 5 game can purchase the bobblehead for $10, with proceeds going to Herma's Readers.
