2009 Promotional Schedule Released

The Yankees released their 2009 promotional schedule recently (hat-tip to New Stadium Insider and River Ave. Blues). There will 28 promotional dates this year, eight less than last year's 36. Which is surprising considering they just built a new stadium, and promotional dates might be a good idea. Of course it is possible that more dates will be added along the way, but for now I think they came up a little short on promotional dates.

Here are some of the highlights:

- Cap day #1, sponsored by Zales, is on May 3rd against the Angels.

- Cap day #2, sponsored by Hess, is on May 16th against the Twins.

- Cap night, sponsored by Cannon, is on May 20th against the Orioles.

(yes, there are three cap giveaways)

- Yankee Stadium figurine night sponsored bySports Authority is on June 5th against the Rays.

- Inaugural Season Bottle Opener Keyring night (sponsored by Budweiser) is July 24th against the A's.

Not sure when bat day is, I guess that has yet to be decided.

I think I know when bat day is. It's in the newest edition of Yankee Magazine. I'll go get it.
