Everyone likes the current incarnation of our Madison-area baseball team: The Mallards. Unlike previous versions, these guys aren't professionals (not minor leaguers) but this version does such a great job with providing a fun product at a great price - you just have to go.
I just took a look at some of the promotions coming up (there's one pretty much every night). Here are my favorites (the rest are here):
An old school mesh hat
june 9 - Dr. Jay Hazen Dentistry for Madison Muskies Turn-Back-the-Clock Night. Mallards will wear authentic 1993 Muskies uniforms & free Muskies mesh caps (first 1,000). Live music w/ the Hometown Sweethearts. Harley-Davidson Night presented by Capital City. Unique area Harley-Davidson motorcycles will be on display and the first 500 fans in the Duck Blind will receive a Mallards six-pack cooler courtesy of Capital City Harley-Davidson. Post-game fireworks show, presented by Life Style Staffing.
A duck bobblehead and a pint glass

We have to go to "Take Howie out to the ball game night". Obvious. I also need someone to go to "duck bobblehead" night. Perfect for my (not-yet-started) collection of bobbleheads.
Gosh, they're so creative! I think Howie will enjoy baseball, and I think I would enjoy receiving a real diamond while at the park. Probably more than I'd enjoy seeing Dustin Diamond?
Mallards games are great.
I enjoy every minute.
I love the "anti-Strom" night! Also the Quench Gum Guaranteed Win night. I don't think Quench Gum exists outside of promotions like these.
We can only hope that when they go back in time to the magic of 1993 they bring back the peanut guy. Does anyone else remember him? He would run up the bleachers making jokes, collecting money, and would then throw bag of peanuts to his customers in different ways (behind his back, through his legs, etc). For me, that was always the most entering part of sitting in the stands.
