Rejoyce, Blue Jays fans! The team has come out with their 2012 Promotional Schedule.
There are lots of great giveaways this season, including three .. yes, three bobblehead giveaway days. Brandon Morrow, Ricky Romero and Yunel Escobar will all be available in bobblehead form.
The best part is that the giveaways have increased from the first 10,000 fans to the first 20,000 fans. That’s twice the amount of bobbleheads, which is great news because the giveaways seemed to go especially fast last season.
Here are a few other noteabale giveaway days:
April 9: Honda Home Opener, Rally Towel Giveaway
May 20: Brandon Morrow Bobblehead Giveaway
June 3: Yunel Escobar Bobblehead Giveaway
June 13: 2012 Team Card Set Giveaway
June 17: Father’s Day, Blue Jays Batting Helmet Giveaway
August 12: Blue Jays Cap Giveaway
August 19: Ricky Romero Giveaway
September 30: Fan Appreciation T-Shirt Giveaway
Also making a return at the Home Opener is the Rally Towel giveaway. While I’m sure it looks great on television to have 47,000+ fans waving their towels in unison, it creates a problem of folks throwing them onto the field.
Hopefully the Blue Jays either beef up the security for this year, or they only limit the rally towels to the folks on the lower deck.
Technically, pitchers and catchers don’t need to report to Spring Training until Tuesday, but it looks like the Blue Jays are getting a head start on their workouts.

Snider, Lawrie, Lind, and can’t tell who the others are.
