I have to say I love this promotion — you could win a cut of $1 million if you attend any Asheville Tourist game played on a Monday and the Tourist’s starting pitcher throws a perfect game. What are the chances of a pitcher tossing a perfect game on a Monday? Who knows. 

Asheville, N.C. — Starting Monday, April 13, Capital Bank will hand out cash to fans during Mega Money Mondays at every Asheville Tourists Monday night home game this season, The first 750 adults through the gate receive an envelope containing between $1 and $100 in cash. There are also prizes in some of the envelopes, including Tourists tickets. 

On top of that, should the Asheville starting pitcher throw a perfect game on a Monday home game, every fan in attendance at the contest will divide $1,000,000, courtesy of Capital Bank. 

“This is our opportunity to bring even more excitement to an already fun night out at McCormick Field,” said Al Davis, senior vice president and western region executive. “We know every bit of extra cash helps and we’re proud to support the fans and the Tourists team with the much anticipated Mega Money Mondays.” 

Fans are also encouraged to stop by one of Capital Bank’s four Asheville-area locations to sign up to win the Family VIP Experience which includes four VIP tickets to each Monday home game, along with food and drinks in the clubhouse luxury box, the opportunity to throw out the first pitch, a souvenir photo with Teddy Tourist, VIP parking pass and a Tourists gift bag.

    Lol. If the pitcher doesn’t throw a perfect game he will be the most hated person in Asheville. Love the marketing. Would hate to be the pitcher. Go Tourist!

    The odds are 1 out of 11,000. I’m not sure about the minor leagues, but there have only been 17 perfect games pitched in MLB.
