(AKRON, OHIO) September 14, 2020 – This Sunday, September 20, the Akron RubberDucks will hold a third safe, socially-distanced edition of the fan-favorite Swing For Your Swag event. From 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., RubberDucks fans will have the opportunity to show off their hitting skills in the batter’s box and win exclusive prizes, all while enjoying live baseball entertainment at Canal Park on the HD video board in right field.
Fans can win assorted prizes including autographed memorabilia by hitting a baseball into one of the many target zones scattered in the outfield. Among the great prizes being given away Sunday afternoon, the grand prize of a 2021 Akron RubberDucks season ticket package will be awarded to any fan who can hit a home run over the fence in the outfield.
"Our parent club the Cleveland Indians are right in the middle of an intense playoff race as they compete for another AL Central Division crown, and fans can feel that same excitement as they swing for their swag this Sunday at Canal Park,” said RubberDucks General Manager Jim Pfander, “We’ve loved the positive response from our fans about Swing for Your Swag, and this will be another great way to safely bring together baseball fans from all across Northeast Ohio.”
The Akron RubberDucks will continue to follow all social distancing protocols as outlined by Gov. DeWine, Mayor Horrigan, and state and local health officials. Fans in attendance for this event at Canal Park will be socially-distanced within the seating bowl and while on the field.
