This Braves annual "JERSEYS OFF OUR BACKS" game is this Saturday, June 7th. For those of you who don't know the deal.....tickets will be sold before the game for (I think) $3 each, or 2 for $5. Random ticket numbers will be called each half inning and if your number is called then you win the jersey off a players back following the game.

Kyle,

Forget jersey's off our backs...I know you really want to attend shower sandles off our foots day?? haha, just kidding.

I know the A's just had a jersey's off our backs day last homestand. I had a ticket and was going to attend but the player whos jersey I wanted was in AAA at the time, so I didn't go.

I know the DBacks do a Jersey of our DBacks day, but I don't know how they operate it. The A's operate their silent auction style until the last out in the 7th.

I wonder if the Braves jerseys will be special one game use for the promotion or if they give out their 1st set jerseys. I know the Tigers give out special ones that even have a SB on the tagging to designate that it is from the Shirt off the Back promotion. Anybody know what other teams do?

Chicago Cubs had one of these this year, on 4/21 against the Mets. They did not promote it at all, was a complete surprise when I walked through the gate and was handed a scratch off card. They handed out 20,000 cards and there were 25 winners. My buddy was one of the winners.

He took his scratch off card to the winners table to claim the prize, they pulled a random name and it was Henry Blanco ( I know probally the worst player he could of gotten). Anyway, they send it to you in the mail...well 3 weeks later he gets his package, and it wasn't Blanco's jersey. It was Kevin Hart's (pitcher who was up from the minors that game) He was thrilled, at least he has potential. (We are not big fans of Blanco's) if you couldn't already tell.

Just got back from Turner Field. I decided not to stay for the game because it was way too hot out and I was getting tired. But, they're doing the "Jerseys Off Our Backs" differently. They were selling the tickets outside of the stadium, and they were scratch-off tickets and not the regular raffle tickets like they've done in the past. I bought 7 and didn't win :(
