Maryland Baseball Limited Partnership is initiating a fan appreciation program designed to reward attendance at games of the Bowie Baysox, Frederick Keys and Delmarva Shorebirds.

Similar to frequent flier programs, fans will accumulate points with a free Heavy Hitter FanCard at each game they attend. They will swipe the card at kiosks and reward vouchers will print with an updated point total.

The top award -- for 100 points -- is an all-expenses paid trip for two to Orioles' spring training next year. The lineup begins with a free soft drink for one point and includes such rewards as hats, free dinners and being a play-by-play announcer.
