They want you…to want them?
The Rockford Rivets have yet to play a game in the Northwest League yet, already, they’ve got a pretty cool promotion lined up.
Fans who buy select five-game ticket packages will receive a set of four Cheap Trick bobbleheads. The iconic band who, on Friday, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame still calls Rockford home.
“I am a huge Cheap Trick fan and am honored that they have allowed us to launch this series,” Rivets general manager Chad Bauer said.
This won’t be the first time Cheap Trick has popped up at a Rockford baseball park. In 2012, guitarist Rick Nielsen was honored by the Riverhawks…the predecessor for the Rivets. They celebrate his unique style with checkerboard guitar-themed uniforms.
