Wilmington, DE - The 2018 season of Wilmington Blue Rocks baseball will be highlighted by the return of fireworks during every Friday home game, three appearances by the hugely popular Cowboy Monkey Rodeo and a bobblehead series featuring all three of the team's mascots.

As is Blue Rocks tradition, the Wilmington night sky will light up with an expansive fireworks show set to music after every home Friday game during the upcoming year. In addition to the 11 Friday fireworks shows, there will be postgame fireworks after Blue Rocks games on Saturday, May 5 and Tuesday, July 3. Monkeys dressed as cowboys, riding dogs as though they were horses while herding rams will perform on the field with the Cowboy Monkey Rodeo at Frawley Stadium during and after the games on May 4, 5 and June 29.

For fans that collect all three, the figurines will connect into the shape of the state of Delaware at the base.
