As if channeling fellow Chicago icon Oprah Winfrey, the Cubs have announced that they’ll be staging giveaways during each of their home games in the month of August. While I suspect fans won’t be finding car keys under their seats, some of the prizes won over the first few days of the promotion have been pretty awesome.
So far, fans have been treated to:
- An El Mago signed baseball
- A visit from Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg
- Meeting Cubs organist Gary Pressy and picking a song to be played between innings
They’re billing the promotion, appropriately, as “14 Days of Wrigley Field Fantics.
