August 27, 2010

On Saturday, September 4th, fans will have the opportunity to visit one of four local Best Buy stores for the chance of a lifetime.  Rock Cats players will be ready to take on all challengers in a quick game of Wii Home Run Derby from 11:00 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. 

The first 20 fans to beat a Rock Cats player will receive a $5 gift card from Best Buy.  Of course, these trendy professional baseball players will be glad to help you decide how to spend the card, provide insight into their favorite gadgets, games, and back to school items.

The top-scoring fan from each store will be invited out to the ballpark to participate in an on-field Wii Hr Derby tournament at that evening's Rock Cats game. The 'Cats will take on the Trenton Thunder - the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees - at 7: 05 P.M. Top scorers will not only get to take the field for this unique on-field challenge, but their friends and family will receive complimentary tickets to the game to cheer them on!

Still need more reason to head out to Best Buy on September 4th? The champion will go home that night with a new Wii!
