Happy Star Wars Day!
May 4, 2021
While it doesn’t look like there’s going to be the typical “Star Wars Night” promotions going at at ballparks tonight, it appears that ESPN has found another way to exploit the fan holiday.

May the Force be with you all!

Happy Star Wars Day! Geeks and nerds across the nation and in MLB stadiums everywhere will be dressing up like their favorite characters today. Some teams even will have some cool Star Wars-themed giveaways, such as this Alex Gordon Jedi bobblehead the Royals gave out a couple years ago.
There will be no giveaway at the K tonight, though no doubt numerous fans will show up in their favorite Han Solo, Chewbacca, or other Star Wars character getups. Many teams don’t keep their Star Wars-related giveaways exclusive to May 4th, but rather, you can find little giveaways here and there throughout the year. I won’t be dressing up as Princess Leia or anything today, but hoping the Royals win tonight, I am.
