The Philadelphia Ballhawk 2013-14 Winter Challenge Giveaway
Hi and welcome to The Philadelphia Ballhawk 2013-14 Winter Challenge Giveaway. This contest is running until the first team’s pitchers and catchers report, on February 13th.
There will be one winner, who will get a choice of items that may be stadium giveaways or something along those lines. The winner will be the person whose name gets picked out of a hat, which I’m recording so I PROMISE I WON’T RIG IT. Maybe I’ll do a live stream
I’ll be keeping track of entries on a Keynote document, which I can forward to anyone who wants to see it.
Most entries will be earned by answering questions, although there may be some where you have to retweet or share a post.
Prompts will be posted here, on Twitter (@phiballhawk), Facebook (Harrison Tishler, it is not a page you like, you have to send a friend request in order to see everything) and Instagram (@htishler).
QUESTIONS WILL BE POSTED THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AT LEAST 3 TIMES DAILY
You can only guess once per question.
And finally, try to use the hashtag #PBWCG in all posts.
Ready?
As a bonus, retweet this for a free entry:

Those are both correct but there are more
31) C)

Ok… Wow! Do you have updated standings?
Yeah. Do you want your point total?
Yes please. I’m also curious who is in front of me.
You have 16 points which is second behind Maddie’s 27 but it is a raffle, not based off of standings
65. A
Yes.
58. B
Sorry, incorrect
64) A) Detroit Tigers
Nope
63) B) Roger Deen Stadium
Nope
62) C) Sun Life Stadium
No. Sorry
Maybe these were already answered, I don’t know:
47) Citizens Bank Park, Veterans Stadium, Coca-Cola Park
55) None of them. If any of them, it must be Exxon Match Game….I know there is a match game.
56) No to Geno’s, no to Peace A Pizza (they have Seasons Pizza), No Taskykakes….so I guess it must be Phood Stand (but, if so, we’ve never got phood there).
57) D. Certainly they have A and B. I know they love Phoebe and I’ve seen stuff celebrating her…so I got with D.
58) I have no clue what Muff is….but the Phanatic Shoe used to be on the upper concourse just to the 1B side of home plate. It’s been gone for years…so I’m going with C.
62) My guess is The Vet. I peg the Tishlers as a family who goes to baseball games because “the boy” loves baseball. The Boy was about 4 when The Vet closed its doors…so my guess is that the Tishler folks never took The Boy to The Vet.
63) This one is much harder…I really want to say D….so I will. D.
47) Technically, I was looking for Ameriquest Field but Coca Cola does have the bottle so I’ll give it to you.
55) Yes, none of them are real. There is the sunoco match game, however.
56) Yes, the Phood Stand is real.
57) No, they really walk onto the field on Opening Day.
58) Yes, the Phanatic shoe is on the upper level.
62) I’ve been to the Vet three or four times. My first MLB game was Kevin Millwood’s No Hitter in April of 2003.
63) Come on, you know I like the Orioles! Nope
And a few notes:
56) Peace A Pizza was the old stand, which closed in 2007.
58) Muff is what Gary Matthews and Chase Utley call Chris Wheeler
58) The shoe is gone? I haven’t been up in the 300s for a few years so I never noticed that.
62) I was three when the Phillies played their last game at the Vet.
67) Rangers, Brewers, and Padres
Yes
68) Jason Repko
No
Wait… If you go to the Twins transaction page on MLB.com, then go to May of 2011, It says for May 4th:
“Minnesota Twins placed LF Jason Repko on the 15-Day disabled list retroactive to May 2, 2011. right quad strain. Minnesota Twins recalled Ben Revere from Rochester Red Wings.”
I’m sorry, my answer says someone different, I’ll DM you
Well, I was told it was Delmon Young by the Phillies website and MLB said it was Jason Repko. I’m not sure which is correct so I’ll give it to you
71) D) Scott Graham
72) I have never been to which stadium?
A) Roger Deen Stadium
B) Veterans Stadium
C) New Yankee Stadium
D) Sun Life Stadium
No
Whoops. Didn’t mean to put all of 72 there. However, I think..
72) C
Yes
