(February 14, 2024, York, Pa.) — The York Revolution looks to make 2024 the biggest and best season yet.
Revolution officials today announced chapter 3 of the team’s promotional schedule for its upcoming 17th season. Headlining this week’s release is the announcement of an opening day tribute to the memory of Brooks Robinson as the Revs start their season on April 25 against the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars. The tribute includes a Brooks Robinson White Roses replica jersey giveaway for the first 1,000 fans, in honor of the greatest third baseman in MLB history. Not only did Robinson get his professional start in York, he was also an owner of the Revolution.
“Calling Brooks a great ballplayer diminishes him,” said York Revolution President Eric Menzer. “Of course, that is true, but way beyond that, he believed in and supported this city, and he was genuinely a fan and champion of our team. The York Revolution would not be here today without Brooks Robinson.”
The big opening weekend continues with back-to-back-to-back giveaways on Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27.
York County Solid Waste Authority jumps in on the opening weekend fun by sponsoring reusable storage bags for the first 1,000 fans on their Go Green Night Friday, April 26.
Saturday, April 27, marks the third giveaway of the season, with a 2024 magnet schedule for the first 1,000 fans. The fun doesn’t stop there as April 27 is also the first inside-the-park firework show of the 2024 season.
To close out the big weekend, Sunday, April 28, is the season’s first Sunday Funday presented by Weis Markets, and the debut of the Revs’ new autograph format, featuring player cards for the initial group of autograph signers. That day is also the Celebration of Abilities presented by PENN-MAR Human Services.
