The Greedy Pinstripes & a FANCHEST Promo

Back in May we here at TGP received a FANCHEST which we promptly did a review about on the site. Well good news Yankees fans and with the holiday season fast approaching this comes not a moment too soon. Fanchest is back and they want to give The Greedy Pinstripes readers and subscribers a chance to try fanchest with a discount. Put in discount code “greedypinstripes” for $10 off your first purchase. 

And for all those who missed it here is my review once again from back in May. Check it out.

In a world where anything can be ordered or found online it's getting harder and harder to be original. We saw some originality with the OneUPBox and the HorrorBox and all the equivalents but as far as I knew there wasn't a "box" for the sports fan. Until now. Fanchest is like those other "boxes" but they cater to the New York Yankees, New York Rangers or New York Mets fans. For us by us kind of thing.

Now if you click the Yankees section on Fanchest.com you can find that they have different tiers of boxes that naturally change every single month. The fanchest that I purchased was the "MVP" tier which will cost you $79.99.

What I received was a pair of Majestic Yankees T-shirts and not the cheap ones either, these are the authentic shirts that the Yankees are wearing on the field and in the dugouts. I also received a pair of Yankee Stadium seating chart themed coasters for my living room and one of those silicone bands to wear on my wrist. The box also contained a Yankees jersey bottle coozie, a one-size fits all Yankees hat and one of the awesome Yankees wigs pictured above.

You can get smaller tiered boxes ranging in price from $49 and $59 and you can also get Mark Teixeira and Paul O'Neill themed boxes that contain signed baseballs with authenticity paperwork for $199.99 and $174.99 respectively.

So head over to Fanchest.com, pick your team, pick your box and blow your loved ones away for Fathers Day, Christmas or just because. I highly recommend this box and I already have my eye on another for next month. We hope this review helps!

Press Release: 2016 Fan Cost Release for Minor League Baseball

Minor League Baseball Remains a Budget-Friendly Entertainment Option Family of four can attend a game for an average of less than $65

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida — Minor League Baseball announced today that attending one of its games is, yet again, one of the most

economical forms of family entertainment available. The average cost for a family of four to enjoy a Minor League Baseball game this

season is only $64.97; a price that includes parking, two adult tickets, two child tickets, four hot dogs, two sodas and two beers.

The average cost for two adults to attend a game at one of the 160 ballparks in the 14 domestic-based leagues that charge admission

ranges from $33-$37, depending on the fans’ choice of beverages.

The ticket prices are based on the most economical fixed seat in a stadium, although a majority of the clubs have discounted, free or

special ticket prices for children under a certain age, senior citizens and/or military personnel. Berm seating, concessions specials and

other deals available through clubs’ social media platforms also save fans money and contribute to making the cost of attending a

Minor League Baseball game one of the best budget-friendly options among all professional sports leagues. “Minor League Baseball has long strived to be a budget-friendly source of family entertainment, providing fun promotions and a quality

product on the field,” said Minor League Baseball President and CEO Pat O’Conner. “We take great pride in knowing that over 42.5

million fans chose Minor League Baseball to help create lifelong memories with family and friends.”

MiLB Press Release: Top 25 MiLB Merchandise Sales Includes One Yankees Affiliate

Minor League Baseball Announces its Top 25 Teams in Licensed Merchandise Sales

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida — Minor League Baseball today announced its list of Top 25 teams in licensed merchandise sales for 2015, with the combined totals of all 160 teams setting a Minor League Baseball record with more than $65.1 million in retail sales.

The $65.1 million total marks a 7.9 percent increase over 2014’s total of $60.3 million, which had been the highest total recorded since Minor League Baseball’s licensing program began in 1992. The numbers are based on total licensed merchandise sales from January 1 – December 31, 2015, and include the 160 teams in the domestic-based leagues that charge admission to their games.

Alphabetically, the Top 25 list includes: the Albuquerque Isotopes, Biloxi Shuckers, Charlotte Knights, Columbus Clippers, Dayton Dragons, Durham Bulls, El Paso Chihuahuas, Fort Wayne TinCaps, Frisco RoughRiders, Indianapolis Indians, Lake Elsinore Storm, Lakewood BlueClaws, Lehigh Valley IronPigs, Louisville Bats, Nashville Sounds, Oklahoma City Dodgers, Pawtucket Red Sox, Reno Aces, Sacramento River Cats, Salt Lake Bees, San Antonio Missions, South Bend Cubs, Tacoma Rainiers, Toledo Mud Hens and Trenton Thunder.

“Minor League Baseball team names and logos are quirky, fun and contemporary, but they are also incredible marketing tools for the clubs they represent,” said Sandie Hebert, Minor League Baseball’s Director of Licensing. “Each year, we see familiar logos on the Top 25 list, and some newcomers, showing both the longevity and modern appeal of our trademarks. It’s interesting to see how clubs choose to brand their identities, and how that translates into merchandise sales.”

Online sales have also played a significant role in the steady growth of merchandise sales, as Minor League Baseball experienced a 9.4 percent increase over 2014. Of the Top 25 teams, 23 have online stores using the MiLBStore.com platform.

“Our clubs continue to record online sales from around the world in addition to strong sales at their ballparks,” added Hebert. “The increasing popularity of Minor League Baseball, combined with the ease of online ordering, has created a tremendous amount of growth for our merchandise.”

My Review of "Fanchest"

In a world where anything can be ordered or found online it's getting harder and harder to be original. We saw some originality with the OneUPBox and the HorrorBox and all the equivalents but as far as I knew there wasn't a "box" for the sports fan. Until now. Fanchest is like those other "boxes" but they cater to the New York Yankees, New York Rangers or New York Mets fans. For us by us kind of thing.
