Astros and Chevy Celebrate Inaugural American League Season with Fan-Friendly Activities
The Houston Astros, Chevrolet and the Houston area Chevy dealers are celebrating the Astros inaugural American League season with several activities that give fans a fun and up-close experience with Astros baseball. The activities taking place during the 2013 season include numerous player autograph signings at Houston Area Chevy Dealerships, a Chevy Youth Base Stealer at each home game and two youth baseball clinics at Minute Maid Park, sponsored by Chevrolet, on April 28.
"Chevrolet is a great partner of the Houston Astros and they continue to give back to our local community in so many ways," said Matt Brand, Vice President, Corporate Partnerships of the Houston Astros. "We are very proud of our association and look forward to our continued partnership together."
"From back yards to the big leagues, Chevrolet is committed to the communities where our customers live, work and play," said Steve Flynn, Regional Chevrolet Marketing Manager. "There is nothing more American than Chevrolet and baseball, and we want to celebrate this with the Astros during their inaugural year with the American League, by giving fans multiple opportunities to interact with their favorite team."
Houston Area Chevy Dealers Player Appearances
On Saturdays, local Chevy dealers will host free, public autograph sessions by current and former Astros players. Times and the players appearing will be announced prior to each autograph session.
Chevy Youth Base Stealer
During every Astros home game, one young fan will "steal" third base while the grounds crew conducts field maintenance during the fifth inning. Participants will be selected through Chevrolet and its local dealers. Each participating child gets to take home a replica third base.
Chevrolet and Youth Baseball
On April 28, Chevrolet will host the Chevrolet Youth Baseball Clinics at Minute Maid Park. Each clinic features two hours of baseball instruction and includes lunch for over 400 kids. Participants will also gain additional baseball insight through a question and answer session with a former Astros player.
For the past four years, the Houston Area Chevy Dealers have partnered with local youth leagues donating $400,000 in and around the Houston area in the form of check donations, equipment and fundraiser opportunities for boys and girls to play baseball.
