White Sox 2020 promotional review

Some terrific offerings from the club, highlighted by a replica scoreboard and bat flip bobblehead!

By Year of the Hamster
Stick talks: Yeah, no argument, the bat flip bobble is the coolest item among many great promotions for White Sox fans in 2020.

The initial list of ballpark giveaways are out, and several items are going to generate long lines into games in 2020, including three exclusive bobbleheads and a replica of the iconic 1960 ballpark scoreboard.

The list of promotions was released along with the announcement that single-game tickets for the 2020 season go on sale beginning at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, January 15 at whitesox.com.

So let’s get to the good stuff, in order of game date!
