I hope I'll be saying that next fall!\u00a0 A “sweep” in baseball means that one team won all the games in a particular series.\u00a0 A baseball sweepstakes means that there are baseball prizes to be won.<\/p>\n
Major League Baseball (MLB) is running many different sweepstakes<\/a> for the various teams in the league.\u00a0 In the regular season, these giveaways are usually for game tickets and extra goodies.\u00a0 MLB and Scotts are co-sponsoring a bunch of sweepstakes that includes four game<\/a> tickets, a chance to get on the field and\/or meet a baseball player, and baseball gear to take home with you.\u00a0 Later in the season, we're likely to see prizes for the All-Stars, play-offs, and World Series.<\/p>\n Hopefully the Phillies will be there.\u00a0 If you're from another town, yes, the rumors about Philadelphia fans are true.\u00a0 We love our teams.\u00a0 We love it when they win.\u00a0 We also love coaching our players with helpful suggestions if they aren't playing their best.\u00a0 It's just because we love them.\u00a0 Really.\u00a0 However, we're not so keen on teams from other cities.\u00a0 The baseball games that are the most fun<\/a> are the ones against the New York Mets (boo!).\u00a0 Our two cities are close enough that fans for both teams show up, which makes the games especially lively.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you wear another team's jersey to a Phillies game, you can expect a warm response from the locals.\u00a0 But I'd wear a Mets jersey to a Phillies game ten times over before I'd wear a Dallas Cowboys jersey to an Eagles game.\u00a0 (We REALLY don't like them).\u00a0 But that's another story.\u00a0 For now, I'm just hoping to win the Phillies tickets sweepstakes.<\/p>
