Happy Wednesday A’s Fans.
The 2026 season will be year two of the Athletics planned three-year Sacramento sojourn while the organization waits for construction to finish on its new ballpark in Las Vegas.
For some fans, one of the highlights of going to a baseball game is the giveaway item they get whether it is a bobblehead, hat or something else. Yesterday, the A’s announced their 2026 promotional calendar full of goodies the team will be giving fans at Sutter Health Park this season. The release is part of the team’s push to get fans to buy tickets as single-game tickets go on sale today.
The giveaways start immediately. Fans attending the A’s home opener against the Houston Astros on April 3rd will take home a magnet schedule and then get to watch postgame fireworks. The team is giving out Sacramento gold jerseys and then gloves for the latter two games of that series.
A’s fans who love to collect bobbleheads will be in for a treat this spring and summer. Those who attend the April 17 game against the White Sox will receive a Nick Kurtz bobblehead. The fact that the reigning American League Rookie of the Year is getting a bobblehead so early in his career reflects the impact Kurtz has already had on this franchise.
If you want a bobblehead, but miss out on obtaining Kurtz, no need to fret. Jacob Wilson’s bobblehead day is June 20, Shea Langeliers’ is Aug. 15 and Mark Kotsay’s bobblehead is the scheduled giveaway on Aug. 28.
A couple other cool giveaways this year are the always popular Star Wars Grogu (March 12) and the buildable Tower Bridge (Aug 2). Based on the Bridge and Sacramento jersey, it appears that as far as giveaways are concerned, the A’s seem to be embracing playing in the state capital a bit more this year.
Let’s hope the team lives up to its potential to attract fans regardless of the giveaways!
