Boston Red Sox invite fans to join them for Social Media Appreciation night

Maybe other professional sports teams have already done this, but thought the Boston Red Sox invitation to attend Tuesday's game this week for Social Media Appreciation night sounded pretty clever. Here's the pitch, as the team looks to attract fans and keep its "sellout streak" alive despite having a less than stellar start to the season:

Tigers vs. Red Sox
Tuesday, May 29 - 7:10 p.m.

Follow us? Like Us? Have us in your Circle? If so, join the Red Sox for Social Media Appreciation Night at Fenway Park on Tuesday, May 29! The Red Sox welcome our social media fans to join us for Red Sox vs. Tigers baseball and exclusive giveaways.

All in attendance will receive an exclusive Red Sox Social Media Night T-Shirt and will be eligible for giveaways at the top of every inning throughout the game. You must bring your ticket to the social media booth in the Gate A Concourse to get your T-shirt. Pick-up available from 5:40 p.m. until the end of the 7th inning.
