After a two year hiatus the AppleSox strikeout socks are back by popular demand thanks to the new “Ten Strikeouts for a Sonic Slushy” promotion sponsored by Sonic Drive-In. Fans may remember the strikeout socks promotion that was put on hiatus after the 2008 season.

“Our fans asked about the socks the last two years,” said general manager Jim Corcoran. “Like hot dogs, bleachers and scoreboards, a clothes line with big socks hanging from it is just another important part of our baseball experience in Wenatchee”.

The AppleSox are teaming up with Subway to offer fans an exciting new food option at Paul Thomas Sr. Field this summer. 6-inch Subway sandwiches have been added to the Red Lion concession stand menu and will be available at every AppleSox home game.
