  1. What kind of stuff are you expecting to receive from the teams?

  2. I expect at least a pocket schedule. Some teams include stickers, baseball cards, and other leftover promotional items. I have received pins and t-shirts from some teams in the past.

  3. hey, where did you find out where to send the request for this stuff? i’d like to try and score me an Orioles fan pack. hopefully it includes a glossy 8×10 of Peter Angelos giving the finger.

  4. Send an e-mail to fanfeedback@orioles.mlb.com

    The contact info can be found on the team websites. I always use the address in the “Other” section of the contact page.

  5. Ha, this is great. I used to work in the merchandising department for a minor league team and we’d get requests for stuff like this all the time. Usually they asked for way too much to accommodate so we’d throw the request away – I simply didn’t have the time to find “replacement” items. Other times it was hard to tell if if was a fake spam email or not, or it’d requested a bizarre collection of stuff to be sent overseas – too much for our limited “donation” budget. And other times, the person would request popular promo items like bobbleheads which we re-used or ran out of – our that we were not allowed to giveaway because we wanted to create a “must by the ticket” demand for whatever it was.

    But if they simply asked for a schedule I nearly always could oblige.
