66ers Baseball and MiLB are Excited to Announce The Esurance Home Field Advantage Award
San Bernardino, CA - As the second half of the season gets underway, Minor League Baseball and Esurance today unveiled the first annual Esurance Home Field Advantage Award. One Minor League Baseball team in each of the 14 leagues will receive the award based on the highest percentage capacity of the ballpark during the 2016 season.
Inland Empire 66ers fans are encouraged to continue to support the Sixers in this friendly competition by attending games in the home stretch of the regular season. The winning teams will be announced in September and honored at the 2016 Baseball Winter Meetings™ in National Harbor, Maryland, this December. A celebration for the hometown fans of each winning team will also take place at their respective ballparks at the start of the 2017 season.
"We couldn't be any prouder to be a part of this community. The support we have received from the fans and the area has been tremendous over the years," said 66ers General Manager Joe Hudson. "We look forward to providing affordable family fun for all families during the home stretch of the 2016 regular season."
The 66ers promotional calendar is packed with fun-filled events.
