The Orioles today announced plans for Fan Appreciation Weekend, which will be held beginning tonight, Friday, September 20, through Sunday, September 22, when the Orioles host the Seattle Mariners for the final three-game series of the 2019 regular season. The weekend will feature exclusive giveaways and opportunities for fans to enjoy unforgettable experiences at Oriole Park.

As a “thank you” to fans for their support throughout the season, the Orioles will surprise the most-spirited fans at each game with prizes, including Orioles prize packs and autographed items. Randomly-selected fans will also have the chance to enjoy unique experiences over the weekend including opportunities to deliver the lineup card or throw the ceremonial first pitch. Fans will also be able to interact with Orioles players as they swap roles with Orioles employees around the ballpark prior to Saturday night’s game, and pre-selected fans will participate with Orioles players in a “Shirts Off Our Backs” Jersey Ceremony before the final home game of the season on Sunday afternoon. Additionally, throughout the weekend, a special Fan Appreciation filter will be available on Snapchat.

Fan Appreciation Weekend will once again include sweepstakes and opportunities for fans to win prizes via the Orioles social media accounts. Fans should follow @Orioles on Twitter for instructions on how to enter. All fans who check in through the MLB.com Ballpark App throughout the entirety of the homestand will receive a 20 percent off MLBshop.com offer for Orioles merchandise. Five fans who click in will also unlock a code for a free R.B.I. Baseball 19 game. Additionally, one of the first 250 fans to check in each day will win an autographed baseball (Friday), autographed jersey (Saturday), or autographed bat (Sunday).
