all fan giveaways (Reply #8: Some promotion details appear on Brewers' schedule webpage)

[crock921]

I am not sure if this is the right forum for this, but has anyone seen an announcement of what the bobbles will be for 09? I know the dates of the giveaways, but I have not seen name announcements. (I am hoping for the brat this year!)

 

thanks!

[Patrick425]

You know the dates of the giveaways? I could not find anything on the Brewers site. If it's there somewhere, can someone direct me to it?

It seems the Brewers usually announce what the giveaways are around the time tickets go on sale for the general public. I can think of several occasions when the announcement came right after the deadline for season ticket customers to order additional game tickets.

Gee...I wonder why they do that.

[TabbertBB]

Do we know the date for single tickets? Is it the 28th??

[nodakfan17]

I do not think that the date for single game tickets sales has been made public yet, but February 28th is my best guess. I could be wrong, but I believe that in recent years single game tickets have been made available on the last Saturday in February.

[crock921]

When I was picking games for my 20 game pack they told me the giveaway dates, but not the giveaways. I was just curious. Thanks!

[badgerbomb]

I just went into the schedule on the Brewers website and scrolled over the all fan giveaway indicator and it looks as though the 2009 bobbles will be as follows:

 

Ryan Braun -May 3

Trevor Hoffman -May 31

Jason Kendall -June 28

Brat -July 26

Jeff Suppan -August 30

Doug Melvin -September 20

 

Anyone seen an official release?

[Invader3K]

Wow, that's an interesting lineup. Kind of cool they were able to get a Hoffman bobble in there, and I'm sure Suppan will be popular. (That last part should be in blue).

 

Kind of neat that Doug Melvin is going to have a bobble as well.

[hawing]

Good eye, badgerbomb. If you visit the month-by-month schedule page on the Brewers' website, some dates are now asterisked to indicate promotions. Like June 14, window cling day! or June 27, Cerveceros Day.

 

If the pattern of past years is followed again, there should eventually be a press release with all promotions scheduled to date.

[rm121978]

Shocked that there is no Gallardo this year. Replace Suppan with him and that would be a very nice lineup.

[John Brew]

I was really hoping for Gallardo and Bush. An official announcement must be coming soon -- other promos are listed on the schedule:

 

April 10 - Schedule Magnet

May 30 - Adult Baseball Cap

June 14 - Window Cling

July 11 - Cooler Bag

July 12 - Key Chain

None of the 9 pack games are bobblehead games. Interesting move.

[MillerParkSouth]

^^^ yeah, I think it's smart on their part. I know that I'll probably buy those games anyways, especially since a few of them are the day after a game I have for the 9 pack so i'll already be in town. May have to make a special trip up for the Melvin bobble though.

[RightFieldCoder]

Have any other GMs received bobble heads?

Brat -July 26

 

Who? Am I missing something? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Brat -July 26

On my desk at work right now, I have the Hot Dog (2006), Polish (2007?), and Chorizo (2008?) "bobbleheads." (More like bobble-torso, really.) The Brat is coming out this year, and presumably the Italian will be released in 2010.

 

http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif I'm going to be on a plane that morning...so no front-row tix for me this year.

[John Brew]

Have any other GMs received bobble heads?

I don't believe so. This is a very thorough past bobblehead list -- I don't see any GMs listed.

[pitchleague]

the real question is "will it have a nice full bushy mustache with 'real' hair?" Didn't Turnbow's have "real" hair on his a few years ago?

[AmyintheSouth]

I wonder if I can convince my roommate to push our Milwaukee vacation back a day in honor of Ryan Braun Bobble Head day...

[brains and braun]

Didn't Braunie just have a bobblehead day? Am I missing something?

[PeaveyFury]

Didn't Braunie just have a bobblehead day? Am I missing something?

 

He had one last year, but the Brewers in the past have given out 2nd bobbles to commemorate specific accomplishments/achievements, and this one is apparently the GW HR for the wildcard.

[hawing]

I suppose if ever there were a home run to commemorate, Ryan's might be the one.

 

I'm mildly surprised there's a Hoffman bobble so soon after his signing. I thought they made bobble decisions earlier in the offseason. Maybe it was in his contract. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Edit: As a side note, AmyintheSouth's going to be in Milwaukee? Nice. Wear your Brewerfan gear so we know who to say hello to.

[crock921]

yeah, the braun one shows him doing the fist pump. It is pretty cool. The sausages were Polish last year, chorizo before that, and hot dog on july 4 2006. It will be Italian next year. The brat is really the only bobble I am excited about (I also sport a retro striped brat jersey since he won't be traded anytime soon http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif, but I will be at all of the games!
