The only thing better than a summer night at Hammons Field might be a summer night at Hammons Field when receiving free stuff.
Springfield Cardinals baseball is ready to ramp up, and among the great things about Minor League Baseball are the many promotions and giveaways that come with watching the MLB's future stars.
The Cardinals have no shortage of fun nights planned, whether that be weekly fireworks, dogs being allowed at the ballparks, or discounts on food and beverages.
But there are a few special nights with giveaways that many will want to try and be first in line for.
Here are the top five giveaways we think are the best:

May 30
Many kiddos are into Minecraft, and the film starring Jason Mamoa and Jack Black just came out, so the Cardinals are looking to capitalize off the video game and movie hype.
Those with these tickets will receive a cap featuring a Minecraft character and a Springfield Cardinals logo. The fireworks after the game will also be Minecraft-themed.
September 13
Instead of a bobblehead, how about a bobble-arm? Limited edition José Oquendo figurines will be given to the first 2,000 fans. Oquendo was recently elected to the Cardinals Hall of Fame thanks to his many years of service to the organization. He's been part of the organization in some capacity since 1986, either as a player or coach and he now serves as the Cardinals' Minor League Fundamentals Coordinator.
In addition to receiving free stuff, fireworks will take place after the game.
August 16
Mathews is the Cardinals' top pitching prospect in the organization, and he's coming off a season in which he led the Minors in strikeouts. If he turns into something at the pros, there could be a chance the bobblehead could be worth something someday. Nonetheless, bobblehead lovers would be able to add a new piece to their collections.
The first 2,000 fans who enter the gates will receive the bobblehead. The game is also a part of the "Halfway to Valentine's Day" theme at the ballpark that night.

The Cardinals didn't announce any cheeseburger-in-paradise food deals for their Jimmy Buffet night, but they have some sweet button-down shirts that feature parrots, palm trees, the Margaritaville logo and Cardinals logos all over it.
The shirts will be given out to those with a special theme ticket. The night will include Buffet-themed fireworks and the Cardinals wearing special uniforms.
July 20
No hat ever created would say "Springfield," more than one from Leong's Asian Diner, not even a Bass Pro Shops mesh hat that has caught on nationally.
Leong's Asian Diner is most famous for being the birthplace of cashew chicken, thanks to the late legend David Leong. The South Springfield establishment helped put the Queen City on the culinary map.
The first 2,000 fans will receive the cap while the Cardinals take on their "alternate identity" as the Cashew Chickens for a day. Kids who attend the game will also receive a free ice cream sandwich and be allowed to run the bases after the game.
