Home Run Derby pays off for Brewers fans
Just wanted to share what seemed like a good idea by the Milwaukee Brewers to reward fans for left fielder Ryan Braun’s performance in Monday night’s Home Run Derby.
Billed as “Braun Homers…You Score!” the program allowed fans to purchase Loge Outfield seats at Miller Park today for the Aug. 11 game versus the Washington Nationals for a price reduced by a $1 for every home run Braun hit in the derby. Braun hit 14. Loge seats dropped from $26 to $12 for that night. Fans were limited to four tickets when the tickets went on sale this morning.
