The Orioles today announced their 2014 promotions and special events schedule for the 60th Anniversary season. The schedule is one of the most robust promotional calendars in club history and is filled with many new items, as well as several returning fan favorites. Three bobblehead giveaways will take place on three different weekend dates this season, including Manny Machado on June 7, Adam Jones on September 1, and the popular AT&T Fans' Choice Bobblehead on September 21. There are several 60th Anniversary themed promotions, including two during the Orioles vs. St. Louis Cardinals series in August. Following the August 8 game, the club will host a 60th Anniversary-themed fireworks and laser show, which will feature the return of many former Orioles greats. The next night, on August 9, the Orioles will give away a Wild Bill cowboy hat, in honor of one of Birdland's most famous fans, to the first 20,000 fans age 15 and over.
