Saturday, May 31st, when the Grizzlies open a four-game series against the Tucson Sidewinders, is one of the most eagerly anticipated sports giveaways of the 2008 season.  The first 2,500 fans through the gates will receive a Drag Kings Bobble Doll, presented by Tickets.com.  The Drag Kings, Minor League Baseballs’ premier infield-dragging dance crew, will be immortalized in a desktop collectible, and will also perform on the field that night.

The Drag Kings performance on May 31st however, will have a different twist.  Beginning on Friday May 23rd, fans can visit fresnogrizzlies.com, the official online home of the Grizzlies, and vote for which song they’d like to have accompany the Saturday night Drag Kings performance.  One lucky fan will even win the opportunity to drag and dance with the Kings at a future game.

This is really what central California has been waiting for.

Actually the Drag Kings have become a great tool for the Grizzlies and a real part of the allure of Grizzlies baseball.

If you have missed them in action here is a clip.

The Drag Kings were noted as one of the best entertainment groups in the 2007 Best of Gameops.com awards.  This year we will be searching for the best in all of sports when we add Best Entertainment Group as an official category in the awards.  You can always comment in the blog or email us with nominations.
