There are plenty of important posts to check off on the old Bleacher Nation to-do list around this time of the year, but one of the most fun is the promotional giveaways.
The Cubs just released the dates for the special giveaway games and themed nights during the 2019 season and you can see everything in this neat little video below:

In case you can’t watch the video, I’ve got you covered …
April 13: Cubs and Star Wars blanket
April 14: Replica Wrigley Field Statue
May 5:Â Cubs Pullover
May 10:Â Bobblehead: A very scary Cole Hamels
May 26:Â Cubs Camo Athletic Shirt
June 21: Bobblehead:Â Anthony Rizzo
June 26: BBQ “Mitt”
July 15: Bobblehead: Kris Bryant
July 16: 1969 Replica Jersey
July 19th: Bobblehead: Jon Lester
September 15: Bobblehead: Pedro Strop
Beyond that, the dates are unclear, but the promotions have been locked down. There’ll be six Sundays where the kids can run the bases, plus six “Bud Fridays,” which appear to be some sort of hat-giveaway with “designs by 6 Chicago artists.”
I don’t know which I’m most excited to go after, but I would love a Cubs and Star Wars blanket as well as a 1969 replica jersey. Speaking of which, the Cubs took a loss on July 16th, 1969 against the Pittsburgh Pirates by a final score of 8-9. But the Pirates drew only 8,810 fans that day, so the joke’s on them, isn’t it.
