Yanks unveil promotional schedule

Via New Stadium Insider comes word that the Yankees have unveiled their 2009 promotional schedule. It’s clear that the economy is having some impact on baseball promotions as this year’s schedule is remarkably light. Considering that the Yanks are opening up a highly-anticipated new stadium, I would think they’d have more than three promotions in June and two in August. Anyway, the schedule has the usuals — cap nights galore and calendar weekend — as well as some things, such as a New York Yankee passport holder, that no one ever thought they needed. Soup Bowl Night sounds particularly compelling.
