Virgin Islands Day at Yankee Stadium
Yankees fans will know a lot more about the Virgin Islands by the time this season’s over. Sept. 5 is U.S. Virgin Islands Day at Yankee Stadium. The first 18,000 fans through the door that day get USVI sunglasses cases, and tourism officials will give away a couple of trips. USVI Day is just the start. USVI Tourism commercials will play on the stadium’s DiamondVision screen through the remainder of the 2007 season, and ads will be up throughout the stadium. “The New York metropolitan area is the number one market for the U.S. Virgin Islands, drawing thousands of visitors each year,” says tourism boss Beverly Nicholson Doty. “We’re excited for this partnership with one of Major League Baseball’s most recognizable brands.” If you’re on-island, listen to radio stations WSTA and Isle 95. They’re running a baseball trivia contest, and two winners will win a trip to NY for VI Day at the stadium. (Yankees vs. Mariners.)

NYC is the biggest market for USVI tourism eh? I guess that’s why i still get the “look” even when I wear my Red Sox hat on STJ.
Can’t blame them though…especially with the season the Evil Empire is having this year…

The sunglass cases are doomed to litter the field if the blecher creaters get restless.

I live 1000 miles away from New York so there’s no way I’ll be winning a trip.
Damn Yankees.
