The IronPigs open a four-game series against the Gwinnett Braves on Thursday at 7:05 p.m. and the first 3,000 adults 18 and over will receive a Brian Schneider K-Kids Bobblehead courtesy of Lehigh Valley Health Network.

This one-of-a-kind keepsake features Schneider donning his high school Northampton Konkrete Kids baseball uniform! A 1995 graduate of Northampton, Schneider was named the Lehigh Valley Player of the Year in 1994 and ’95. In the midst of his 16th professional season, Schneider is hitting .235 with 3 home runs and nine RBI in 32 games for the Phillies this season. He appeared in three games for the IronPigs earlier this year while rehabbing from a left Achilles strain.

Also, prior to every Thursday home game fans can take advantage of a delicious Pig Roast in the AT&T Plaza courtesy of Royal Gourmet Foods.
