Early-arriving fans will receive "Vote Boudreaux '08" campaign posters, and the night will begin with the induction of the Class of '08 to the New Orleans Professional Baseball Hall Of Fame. Bark In The Park returns for Sunday's 2:00 p.m. start, as fans can bring their favorite canine to the ballpark and sit on the levee. There will also be a flower giveaway in honor of Mother's Day.
