Best part:

*One lucky fan will get a gnome that includes a pair of 2011 MLB All-Star Game tickets. 50 fans will receive a gnome that includes a pair of MLB All-Star FanFest tickets.

Really.. How many diehard baseball fans are thinking "Oh #@^*, I gotta get a gnome"! This is more an old lady type of thing..

We're likely going the night before which is just a fireworks night. No interest in a gnome. Got the opening day lanyard this season, but so far that's the only giveaway we have received besides an UPTOWN towel.

Ahh well thats cool.. I havent been to a game this year yet.. And I have never sat in the RF any time I have gone.. Always have been from anywhere to the visitor dugout around to LF.. So I prolly wouldnt have seen it anyways..


They had Uptown last year, but you wouldn't have noticed it then, since we hardly placed any balls into the RF Bleachers!

I want the gnome. If anyone gets it, I'll give you $5 for it. You can keep the all-star tix.

HEY! I resemble that remark, lol.

I want to go. I already have a Dbacks gnome in my garden. Wouldn't mind getting another.

I think the gnomes are funny. I got this one for Christmas last year.

That's the Diamondbacks. Don't try to appeal to the 25-40 year old guy who will attend 10 games a year, buy a couple bears and a hot dog each time, maybe even a hat. Try to get the bridge club and a family in once a year instead...

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but that's my impression when I've been home the last few years. It's not limited to the Diamondbacks, of course.
