WHAT'S AT STAKE |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This season, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies are taking their National League West rivalry to the streets, literally.
Each D-backs fan who pledges to be a designated driver at Chase Field will earn the D-backs 1 point in the challenge. The same goes for each Rockies fan who signs the pledge at Coors Field. The winner of the D-backs/Rockies Designated-Driver Challenge will be the Club with the most fans pledging to be designated drivers (cumulative total) at the end of the 2011 regular season. In addition to bragging rights and an over-all assurance that its fans are the safest in the National League West, the Designated-Driver Challenge winner will receive a very special trophy at a ceremony held in October in the city of the winning Club. The trophy will be displayed proudly in the ballpark of the winning Club for one year, until the next year’s winner is determined.

Colonels' Bet
Lieutenant Colonel Jack Hegarty of the Arizona Highway Patrol and Colonel James Wolfinbarger of the Colorado State Patrol are putting a little skin in the game for the D-backs/Rockies Designated Driver Challenge. Should the Rockies finish the season with the most designated drivers, then Lt. Colonel Hegarty has promised to send Machaca burritos and salsa to Colorado. However, should the D-backs win the Challenge, Colonel Wolfinbarger has promised a dozen Colorado beef steaks for his counterpart in Arizona.

| Whenever each Club hosts the other, special promotions at the ballparks will help increase fan awareness and participation in the designated-driver programs. A 10-foot tall inflatable baseball will be on display outside each ballpark. Fans who pledge to be designated drivers will have the unique opportunity to autograph the ball. Officers of the respective state highway patrols will be there with the ball to make sure fans participate... and to make sure D-backs fans help Colonel Hegarty and Rockies fans help Colonel Wolfinbarger win the Colonels' bet! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
