15 promotional items in all joined by 17 fireworks nights, 15 RTA Rally Alleys, 13 Sugardale Dollar Dog Nights, 10 KeyBank Kids Fun Days on slate

Cleveland, OH—Four bobbleheads, four jerseys and a Jim Thome replica statue highlight the Cleveland Indians 2014 promotional schedule, which the team released Saturday morning at Tribe Fest at Progressive Field.

Bobbleheads include a “Brohio” item featuring Nick Swisher (courtesy of Sugardale, May 31), plus individual bobbleheads depicting Jason Kipnis (July 8), Michael Bourn (courtesy of Shearer’s, June 3) and former Tribe pitcher Orel Hershiser (courtesy of Meritech, May 3).

Replica jerseys available include Manager Terry Francona’s No. 17 (August 23), plus Kenny Lofton (courtesy of KeyBank, July 12), Omar Vizquel (courtesy of Medical Mutual, June 21) and civil rights pioneer and MLB Hall of Famer Larry Doby (July 5).

Meanwhile, as part of the team’s celebration of 20 years at Progressive Field and the unveiling of the Jim Thome statue, fans can receive a replica Thome statue on Aug. 2.

The jerseys and bobbleheads lead another robust promotional schedule, which starts with a magnet schedule giveaway courtesy of Progressive Insurance to all fans on Opening Day, April 4, against the Minnesota Twins.

Select promotional items distributed in higher quantity

Four promotional items – Brohio and Kipnis bobbleheads, Vizquel jersey and Thome statue – will be given to 12,500 fans. Most other promotional items will be distributed to 10,000 fans, with the exception of the Opening Day magnet schedule, which will be given to all fans.

Vizquel becomes 40th member of Indians Hall of Fame

The Indians’ annual Hall of Fame weekend is set for June 21, with Omar Vizquel becoming the 40th member of the team’s Hall of Fame. Vizquel, the owner of 11 Gold Glove awards, made three American League All-Star teams and helped the club win two American League Championships and six American League Central Division championships.

Fan T-shirt design contest new for 2014; traditional, family friendly events return

Aside from player jerseys, fans will have two other opportunities to pick up Tribe gear: Popular local T-shirt designer GV Art + Design will produce a new T-shirt design for Tribe fans on June 18, while fans also will receive a T-shirt designed by a fellow fan on Sept. 6, courtesy of Cleveland Clinic.

That contest, which begins Monday morning, January 27, allows fans to submit ideas for the final promotional night of the season, on Sept. 6 vs. the White Sox. Ideas will be voted on by fans and the winning design will be used on the T-shirt available to fans on Sept. 6. Fans should visit Indians.com to submit their ideas for the shirt.

Popular promotional staples also will return for 2014: Rock N’ Blast, a two-night fireworks spectacular and part of a 17-night fireworks schedule, is set for Aug. 15 and 16. Fans’ canine friends, meanwhile, can watch the team take on the Los Angeles Angels on June 17 for the Indians Puppypalooza event.

The Indians’ Rally Alley presented by RTA returns for 15 dates, including Opening Day. Fans will have access to games, live music, concessions and more on Larry Doby Way, which runs behind the left-field bleachers.

The Indians once again will partner with KeyBank on 10 KeyBank Kids Fun Days on Sundays beginning May 4. Meanwhile, Sugardale will present 13 Dollar Dog Nights, the first on Friday, May 2 with the Chicago White Sox in town. Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft Stores again will present Crafting at the Ballpark, this year on June 22.
