The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs will host a Michael Jackson Tribute Night on Monday, July 6 at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf, Maryland, as they take on the Lancaster Barnstormers at 7:05 p.m.  The Blue Crabs’ fans and staff will use the game as a means of honoring and remembering the late performer, with Michael Jackson themed promotions (best moonwalk anyone?) before the game as well as between innings.

There will be several chances for fans to be a part of the festivities. In addition to promotions during the game, the tribute will begin as soon as fans arrive at the ballpark.

The first 100 fans to enter Regency Furniture Stadium Monday night will receive just one complimentary batting glove, and anyone with the name Billy Jean who wishes to take in the ballgame on July 6 will be admitted free of charge.  (Proper ID required.)  “Billy Jean” was one of Michael Jackson’s biggest hits as a solo artist and helped catapult him to international stardom.

Also, any person with Jackson as a first, middle or last name that comes to Regency Furniture Stadium will receive a free ticket to the game as well.  (Proper ID required.) 

At the age of five, Michael Jackson and siblings Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon became famous as the Jackson Five playing through towns in Indiana before three national tours and one international tour. In honor of the Jackson Five, where Michael first hit stardom as the lead singer, the Blue Crabs will give all parties of five or more people attending the game a free upgrade in seating location upon entering the stadium.

To keep with the theme of the night, Michael Jackson’s music will be played at the stadium throughout the game between innings. 

“I think it’s safe to say we expect a Thriller between the Blue Crabs and Barnstormers on July 6,” said Blue Crabs Assistant General Manager Omar Roque, and a noted Michael Jackson enthusiast.
