New York Penn League Championshio Ring
 

I'm not near a major league baseball Club, so I like the intimacy of the minor leagues.

Besides the magnets, the t-shirts and posters, sometimes the giveaways are pretty good. A stitched ball cap, a cool bobblehead....

But our local club won the New York Penn League last season. (Houston Astros affiliate)
As a tribute to the fans, 1,500 replica rings were given to the first numbered through the gates.

It's heavy and it's big, and came in a nice commemorative velvet bag.

Anyone else have something similar?

The Tulsa Drillers won the Texas League championship last year, and they did the same thing. The rings are pretty substantial, and come on a little display stand.

Kevin, that's cool. Would love to see a picture. I also like to see more stadium giveaways.

I will try to remember to take a picture of it tonight and post tomorrow. It's at the house and not here at the office.

The Pittsburgh Pirates gave out replica WS rings in 1980.

The Tri-City Valley Cats come into Brooklyn to play the Cyclones at MCU Park in Coney Island. I've seen them a couple of times over the years.

Big game coming up in the Pecos League. The Bakersfield Train Robbers vs the Roswell Invaders.

I am a fan of the many oddball team names of the minor league teams.

Lock your doors Rick, the River Bandits aren't too far downstream.:eek:

Minor league games are fun, and you do get to see the occasional future major leaguer. A couple of years ago I was at the Cyclones final game of the season, and their starting pitcher that night was Noah Syndergaard, who had missed a chunk of the Mets season with injuries and was making a rehab start. That was really cool.
