Knothole Home Run
Set up a sponsor target along the outfield wall with a hole. If a player on the home team hits a home run through the “knothole,” your lucky fan scores the grand prize! This is a great way to draw in sponsors, as well as an audience.
Home Run Off the Foul Pole
If a home team player hits a home run off one of the foul poles, you have a grand prize winner of your baseball promotion!
Winning Inning
Designate one occurrence for each inning of a game. Example: 1st Inning – Triple Play, 2nd Inning – Strike Out the Side, 3rd Inning – Home Run Off the Foul Pole, etc. If the specific event occurs in the designated inning, a lucky fan scores big!
Target Toss
Have a fan attempt to throw 3 pitches from the pitcher’s mound through a target placed near home plate. Offer ancillary prizes for one or two successful tosses and a Grand Prize for hitting all three.
Grand Slam Inning
Have a sponsor designate an inning for the entire season. If the home team hits a Grand Slam in that inning during any home game, then one lucky fan will win!
Triple Play Inning
If the designated team turns a triple play during the designated inning, the fan wins!
What are the Benefits of Sponsoring a Baseball Contest?
Maximize Brand Exposure
Baseball contests give sponsors prime visibility throughout the game — on signage, in announcements, and during the most thrilling moments. It’s the kind of exposure that sticks with fans long after they leave the ballpark.
Create Memorable Fan Experiences
Engaging contests like Target Toss and Knothole Home Run keep fans entertained, energized, and coming back for more. When you create unforgettable moments, you build fan loyalty that lasts.
Leverage Multiple Engagement Opportunities
Baseball’s structure — with innings, breaks, and downtime — offers natural opportunities to showcase contests and sponsors. Every inning becomes a chance for interaction, excitement, and brand recognition.
Generate Local Buzz
High-stakes promotions drive word-of-mouth and media coverage. When a fan wins big during the Winning Inning or nails a Target Toss, word spreads from the ballpark to local news or across social media.
Cost-Effective Marketing
Sponsoring a contest costs a fraction of traditional advertising but delivers massive value. With prize indemnity insurance, you can have a big-moment impact without the financial risk of paying out large prizes.
