Grizzlies offer Lincecum prizes, bobbleheads

July 15, 2008
FRESNO, Calif. -- The Fresno Grizzlies will give one fan a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the greatest Grizzly of all time, San Francisco Giants All-Star Tim Lincecum.

Fans who take advantage of a special online ticket offer -- the Tim Lincecum Four Pack -- for the Grizzlies game on July 19, will be automatically entered for a chance to win tickets to an upcoming San Francisco Giants game where they will have a pregame meet-and-greet session with the Giants' ace.

Fans can now purchase the special ticket offer for Saturday's contest with the Salt Lake Bees, a doubleheader scheduled to begin at 6:05 p.m. Grizzlies fans who order the Tim Lincecum Four Pack online at FresnoGrizzlies.com can purchase four Field Level Reserved tickets for just $20.

Saturday is a special day honoring Lincecum at Chukchansi Park, as the first 2,500 fans through the turnstiles on July 19 will receive the most eagerly anticipated Grizzlies collectible of the year, the Tim Lincecum bobblehead. The limited edition figurine features the flame-throwing right-hander in the same Grizzlies uniform he wore while baffling Pacific Coast League hitters in 2007. Due to the early 6:05 p.m. start time of the doubleheader, Chukchansi Park gates will open at 5:05 p.m. on Saturday.

One lucky fan who takes advantage of the Tim Lincecum Four Pack will be chosen for a very special grand prize. The winner and three friends will receive tickets to a San Francisco Giants game later this season and a pregame meet-and-greet with the All-Star ace. Five other fans will win a special second-place prize -- a Lincecum autograph package containing a signed baseball, Play Ball magazine, and an 8x10 photograph of the former Grizzly.

The Tim Lincecum Four Pack is only available at FresnoGrizzlies.com. The Grizzlies return home to open a five-game homestand against the Salt Lake Bees on Friday, July 18. For information regarding tickets, promotions or Grizzlies baseball visit FresnoGrizzlies.com or call 559-320-HITS.
