Call Your Shot

Happy Saturday. Thought I would pass along word of a contest being put on by State Farm relating to the All Star Game/Home Run Derby, which I received an e-mail about yesterday. I usually don't pay much attention to sweepstakes of this sort, but the prizes seem so cool that I figured I had to mention it. Read below, and if you're interested in entering, you can go to the official website here.

Here's how the promotion works: Fans can enter the promotion daily through June 24 (THIS TUESDAY) at www.sfCallYourShot.com/2008. The grand prize winner of Call Your Shot will win:

* All-expense paid trip for four to the All-Star Game and StateFarm Home Run Derby
* First class hotel accommodations in New York
* Tickets to a Broadway show
* $1,000 MasterCard gift card

The grand prize winner will also get the chance to pick a spot to which two of the Home Run Derby players must compete to try to hit a ball. If the first player hits the ball to the called spot, the promotion ends. If either player succeeds, the fan receives a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid vehicle and a 2009 season-ticket package for any team.

Additionally, 10 fans will win first place prizes consisting of a $300 MLB.com gift card and 25 second place prize winners will receive $100 MLB.com gift cards.
