Catch a baseball game
Themed nights at Wolff Stadium aren't just a good deal for beer. It also means $2 hot dogs and pizza slices. It means showing up just a little bit earlier and getting a free team jersey. It means throwing a dang chancla on the field with your town when the Flying Chanclas play. Baseball isn't just America's greatest pasttime for no reason! Catch a San Antonio Missions home game during baseball season... which is now!
