Doan Delivers: Red Wings Bullpen Cart

Customized bullpen carts were an iconic part of Major League Baseball for most of the 1960's and 70's. This high profile retro marketing tool is making a return to Minor League Baseball, with the Red Wings' new bullpen presented by the Doan Family of Dealerships.

The Doan Family of Dealerships Bullpen Cart will deliver Red Wings relievers from the bullpen to the mound. And while the Wings relievers are not obligated to catch a free ride, fans will certainly see the bullpen cart on the field - and the chance to see a Wings relief pitcher hop out of the cart in front of the Wings dugout.

The Doan Family of Dealerships Bullpen Cart will deliver mascots Spikes and Mittsy to home plate for our Run the Bases family promotion after each Sunday home game, and will also make selected appearances around town at downtown locations, other area events, and Doan Family of Dealerships events.

Mark Sofia, a retired Rochester Police Department sergeant, and his company SportsKartz, created the Red Wings bullpen cart. Click here to read more about the return of the retro bullpen cart and how Mark and the Red Wings worked together to bring a bullpen cart to Rochester.
