Here's this year's Rays giveaways
I'll admit it, I love free stuff. I don't care if it's junk. Gimme it. When they are shooting T-shirts out of cannons or dropping coupons from above, that will be me making a dive for it. Maybe it's because my newspaper has a strict ethics policy that won't let me take even a cup of coffee from a source, so when I'm allowed a chance you can bet I snag the swag.
So I am gleefully rubbing my hands together over the newly released schedule of promotional items to be given away at the Rays games this season. You can snag an adorable bear with the face of Don Zimmer (or is it creepy?) at the Tigers game June 29, or relish the memory of the Evan Longoria’s walkoff home run with a special figurine at the April 21 Twins game. The bobblehead giveaways include Joe Maddon and DJ Kitty!
Single game tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. on raysbaseball.com and Monday at all outlets.
Here are some highlights, but you can see a complete promotional schedule here, which includes some pictures.

Freelance writer Courtney Cairns Pastor wasn’t so sure about having kids and how she would balance child-rearing with her journalism career. It turned out that her journalism training went to good use. As the mom to a funny, active toddler, she learned to handle him like she did her sources. Never ask yes or no questions (the answer will always be no), get him to be specific (are you crying because you’re wet or your tooth hurts?) and be prepared for anything because no two days are the same. When she’s not playing trucks, Courtney crams for her book club, trains for races and occasionally bursts into showtunes. E-mail her at
