Fans are encouraged to arrive early to ensure the best availability for all of this year’s exciting promotional dates.

A carnival-like atmosphere will descend upon Bethpage Ballpark, with many fun-filled activities and special guests scheduled throughout the morning. Newly added guest stars Mario and Luigi of Super Mario Bros. fame will be on hand to take pictures with fans, courtesy of Play-N-Trade Video Games, along with “Long Island’s Best Mascot” QuackerJack, coach Buddy Harrelson, manager Kevin Baez, outfielder Reid Gorecki, and pitcher Joe Esposito. Emcees The Wiseman & Frank of B-103 will be in attendance as well to help lead the festivities.
