Beavers jam series with fan fun
In one of the most anticipated events of the season, actor Jerry Mathers makes a special visit to PGE Park for the Beavers' "Leave it to Beaver" Night on Saturday, presented by Comcast. Mathers, who starred as Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver on the television show "Leave it to Beaver," will be on hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, sign autographs and participate in a variety of in-game activities. The first 1,903 fans receive a limited-edition Jerry Mathers bobblehead.
The Beavers pay tribute to the business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back hairstyle with Mullet Night on a Miller Lite Thursday at PGE Park. The annual event will feature several mullet-themed activities, including an Achy Breaky Heart Dance-Off, inspired by singer Billy Ray Cyrus' early 1990s hairdo, and mullet trivia. Supercuts will be on site prior the game to give fans a mullet haircut in exchange for a free general admission ticket.
The annual "Strike Out Breast Cancer" event, presented by Health Net Insurance, returns to PGE Park on Sunday as the Beavers begin a four-game series against Round Rock. Among the several activities on Sunday, the Beavers will wear one-of-a-kind, pink-ribbon jerseys that will be auctioned off through a silent auction before and during the game to raise funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The winning bidder will be presented the player's autographed, game-worn jersey after the game. The first 1,903 fans receive pink T-shirts, courtesy of Health Net Insurance.
