Baseball bargains made easy-cheesy

Indiana has five minor league baseball teams that offer affordable fun to families, couples, brew buddies and girls-night-out gangs.

Thanks to a partnership between KRAFT Singles and Minor League Baseball, Tuesday nights at the ballpark are even more affordable for fans of the Fort Wayne Tincaps and the South Bend Silver Hawks. Bring your KRAFT Singles wrapper to the box office, buy one ticket and get one free for any Tuesday night home game between now and September 7, 2010.

Indianapolis Indians fans can take advantage of a different Tuesday 2-for-1 offer by picking up coupons at any central Indiana Fazoli’s restaurant.

The Gary Railcats offer Dollar Monday deals that include $1 concessions, programs, merchandise and a buy one ticket, get the second for $1. Indianapolis Indians fans can also take advantage of Dollar Mondays for concession deals.

But I think the winner in the bargain baseball category has to be the Evansville Otters, with $1 concession items  available Monday through Wednesday,  $1 draft beer on Thursdays and kids under 12 can always get in free with tickets picked up at any Old National Bank Branch.

One thing I’ve learned about minor league baseball is that there are always great deals and promotions. Visit the website of the team near you to find other great offers.
