On the promotion in honor of the Red Sox' skipper, the first 1,000 fans through the gate will receive a pink "Bobby Valentine's Day" Spinners ball. Those who do not get baseballs will instead get candy and trading cards.

In addition to this, the Spinners will feature the wrap sandwich in their concession stand, in honor of it's self-proclaimed inventor. Bobby V's ballroom dancing skills with a between innings dancing competition. Yes, life is good when Bobby Valentine is your team's manager.
