STAFF REPORTS
What better way to ring in the New Year than taking a sneak peek at the Red Wings 2019 promotional schedule?! All the fun gets underway on Opening Night – April 11 – which is ONLY 100 days away!
All details including appearances and giveaways will be announced throughout the winter and early spring. To stay informed on all Red Wings promotional happenings be sure to follow along on Twitter (@rocredwings). Although not yet finalized, the 2019 promo slate promises to be one of the best in Minor League Baseball.
THE HIGHLIGHTS:
The Wings have teamed up with the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) and the Rochester School for the Deaf (RSD) for Deaf Culture Day on April 28. More details on this day will be unveiled in the coming months.
As the Hop Bitters did a year ago, the Rochester Hustlers will return for one night on May 25. The Hustlers were Rochester’s pro baseball team in the early 1900’s. A jersey and cap combo along with other merchandise will be unveiled in the early spring.
For a second straight season the Wings will honor our great city with ROC the ROC Night on July 26 – a night dedicated to everything Rochester! The first 2,000 fans will receive a 3′ x 5′ ROC the ROC flag.
Leslie David Baker – aka Stanley Hudson – visits Frontier Field on July 31 for The Office Night as the Wings celebrate one of the greatest TV shows of the last 20 years against, of course, the Scranton/WB RailRiders.
The 2019 promo slate will also include theme nights celebrating the movie anniversaries of Dodgeball (August 30), Major League (Date TBD) and Christmas Vacation (July 28).
The Wings will honor two Rochester legends with their own bobbleheads this year. Recently retired NHL star and Team USA captain Brian Gionta will have his bobblehead day on August 11 and Uncle Phil – Rochester’s most loveable usher – gets his own TALKING bobblehead on July 24. The Red Wings will also give away a Plates bobble on August 8.
