Padres Hall-of-Famer Trevor Hoffman Highlights A "Super" Homestand At HODGETOWN

The Texas League First-Half South Champion Amarillo Sod Poodles return to HODGETOWN for a four-game homestand beginning Thursday, August 1 when the Sod Poodles host the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, the Frisco RoughRiders. Highlighted in the homestand is an appearance by Padres Hall-of-Famer Trevor Hoffman, "Super Hero" Night presented by People's Federal Credit Union which includes post-game fireworks as well as a jersey auction of the night's themed jerseys, and another Sod Poodles gate giveaway.
 
On Thursday, August 1, the Sod Poodles will begin their homestand against the RoughRiders on Thirsty Thursday presented by Barnes Jewelry, offering fans $2 fountain sodas and domestic beers ($3 imported beers) around the ballpark. Additionally, Padres Hall-of-Fame reliever Trevor Hoffman will be throwing out a first pitch and signing autographs for fans at the game at HODGETOWN while he is in Amarillo on the Grassroots Baseball Route 66 Tour. The tour's mission is to promote and celebrate the amateur game around the globe, with a focus on a growing interest and participation at the youngest levels and give back by providing inspiration, instruction and equipment to help ensure more children have the opportunity to learn, play and enjoy the game.
 
On Friday, August 2, HODGETOWN features postgame fireworks presented by RAM Hotels while the theme night, Super Hero Night, highlights Saturday with postgame fireworks presented by People's Federal Credit Union.
 
On Super Hero night, the Sod Poodles will be taking the field in style with themed jerseys, which will be auctioned the day of the game until Sunday at 9 pm with all proceeds benefitting the Wild West Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Two ways will be offered for fans to bid on jerseys - 1) Through the team's mobile partner application, LiveSource, which will include all non-starter and coaches jerseys, and 2) In a live auction format following the postgame fireworks show for the game's starting nine players' jerseys, manager Phillip Wellman and RUCKUS the mascot. All auction information can be found at the Sod Poodles Fan Center when gates open.
 
On Sunday, August 4, the Sod Poodles will cap off the homestand with a HODGETOWN Stadium Replica giveaway presented by Fairly Group to the first 1,000 fans 12 years and older to enter HODGETOWN. Following the game, Sod Pups Club members will have the opportunity to run the bases.
