Burnside Bets His Donuts
By Atlantic League Independent Wire Services on June 1, 2009
York, PA- What could be better than going to a York Revolution game and watching the Revs pitch a shutout? Watching the Revs pitch a shutout and eating FREE Maple Donuts, of course! Good for Revs fans, Maple Donuts owner Charlie Burnside is at it again. Thanks to Charlie, fans will have a chance at winning FREE DONUTS for a MONTH, this Friday, June 5, when the Revolution take on the Long Island Ducks.
A holiday near and dear to Burnside, National Donut Day, which occurs on the first Friday of June each year, will bring new meaning to Revolution fans this season. If the Revs pitching staff throws a donut, or shutout, in Friday night’s game, then all fans in attendance will win free donuts for A MONTH at Maple Donuts. The limit is one dozen per week for a month. That translates to a possible total of 48 donuts per fan.
“I already have the ovens heated,” said Burnside. “It’s positive reinforcement for those on and off the field. We’re rooting for the shutout. The idea of combining two great York traditions, winning Revolution baseball, and Maple Donuts, it doesn’t get any better than that.”
And what about the starting pitcher, Charlie?
“If he can deliver, let’s just say I hope he likes donuts.”
Revolution pitching led the league with eight shutouts last season, including one against Friday’s opponent, the Ducks. The Revs are in search of their first donut of the 2009 season, and if it happens to occur on Friday night, all fans in attendance will share in the rewards.
First pitch of the National Donut Day game on Friday night is scheduled for 7 p.m.
All tickets for the 2009 season are now on sale.
