Trek Me Out To The Ballgame

[Tiberius Jim]

I was at tonight's pre-season San Francisco Giants game (which they won ) and was surprised to see this on the LCD display circling the park:

From the SFGiants.com site:

$20 ticket package includes a View Reserve seat for the Giants vs. Dodgers game, an invitation to the exclusive pre-game party in Scoreboard Plaza, a free Star Trek foam finger, and a complimentary beverage voucher. Pre-judging for the Star Trek costume contest will take place in Scoreboard Plaza and in Willie Mays Plaza prior to the game, with the finals winding up on the field before the first pitch! Break out your best Star Trek gear and join us at AT&T Park.
Cheer long and prosper!

Two of my favorite things...baseball and Star Trek...finally coming together! I am *so* there April 27th!

cool, would love to go to that sometime

Worlds collide! Worlds collide! Sometimes it's a good thing. That foam hand is too cool. I'd take one, and I'm a Cardinals fan.

 

[backstept]

you should wear a Niners jersey

 

[Borgminister]

This marketing campaign is to Trek as the Marshall Plan was to post-war Europe.

Warp Speed to overused and unimaginative advertising! Beam up the Savings at Esurance. Set Phasers on Affordability with AT&T. Live long and Prosper with Tylenol, it's for your heart!

Now with Vulcan(TM) Kung-Foo-Grip(TM) Death Grip(TM)!

I like that the ad is at least in San Francisco, home of Trek.

Whatever puts butts in seats; if the movie's good to excellent for the fan as well, it's win-win, baby!

That is really cool! I'm not a foam hand lover ...but this one I can get down with...how cute the vulcan greeting !!! Loving it!

 

[Rat Boy]

Giants vs. Dodgers is the baseball equivalent of Kirk vs. the Klingons.

Edit: And they should also be giving out sombreros!

 

[22 Stars]

I want the foam hand!

Scott Boras just called. He's not letting anyone buy a ticket to Star Trek for less that $145.

That looks really cool, and makes me wish I still lived half an hour's bus ride from the ballpark. The costume contest could be good for a few pictures, I'm thinking.

I had a blue one that I got from the G4 booth a few years back at a Trek Convention.

And this is just another reason why your my favorite poster on this board.

2 days 1 hour and 21 minutes until Opening Day.

So did we!

Anyone know if this game is scheduled for airing?

On the Giants end of things, it'll be on Comcast Sports Bay Area and the MLB Network. Don't know about LA. I wonder how the Vulcan hands will play with Kruk and Kuip.

He would probably have Nimoy hold out for contract reasons too.

 

[Rat Boy]

Anyone got the contact info for Trekmovie.com? I'm sure they'd be interested in this.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I would totally do Erin Esurance.

Except that she's a cartoon.

And she wouldn't let me, anyway.

I'm pretty sure.

Betty Rubble still has a restraining order against me, and that was decades ago.
