Not really a Tigers related post here, but something you might be interested in regardless. There is a “Call Your Shot” contest tied into the State Farm All Star Game Home Run Derby.
The details are as follows, go to www.sfcallyourshot.com/2008 and enter between now and June 24th. Here’s what you have a chance to win”
* All-expense paid trip for four to the All-Star Game and State Farm Home Run Derby
* First class hotel accommodations in New York
* Tickets to a Broadway show
* $1,000 MasterCard gift card
The grand prize winner will also get the chance to pick a spot to which two of the Home Run Derby players must compete to try to hit a ball. If the first player hits the ball to the called spot, the promotion ends. If either player succeeds, the fan receives a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid vehicle and a 2009 season-ticket package for any team.
Additionally, 10 fans will win first place prizes consisting of a $300 MLB.com gift card and 25 second place prize winners will receive $100 MLB.com gift cards.
Good luck
Man, what I wouldn’t give to see Marcus Thames in the Home Run Derby.
