Foul Pole Contest

Choose a fan at random, and should a wild foul ball smack the foul pole, you've got a winner. Hey, it happens!

Knothole Homer

The outfield fence at ballparks is covered with sponsor billboards. The Knothole Homer contest is the best way to separate your sign from your competitors'. Within your sign, at least 12 feet off the ground, there is a bullseye target hole. If a player hits a home run through your bullseye target hole, a fan wins the grand prize. The premiums are based on the number of games, the value of the prize, the distance of the sign from home plate, the size of the target hole and the chances of one of the home players hitting a home run at your sign.

No Hitter

No-hitters are unforgettable on their own merit, but make one even more impactful by rewarding a lucky fan should a game be a no-hitter. Call us for details and exciting prize ideas.
