What do the Chicago White Sox, Washington Nationals, Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves and Oakland Athletics all have in common? This July 4th all the teams I just mentioned will be featuring huge post game, Independence Day, Fireworks celebrations presented by Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment's Captain America:The First Avenger.

Below are just a few excerpts from the White Sox official press release...

The Chicago White Sox will host an Independence Day Celebration and Fireworks Show, presented by Captain America, when the team faces the Kansas City Royals on Monday at 6:10 p.m.

Paramount Pictures also will promote the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger movie (in theaters July 22) and will give away t-shirts and mini posters on the main concourse at Section 157.

Hawksblueyes: It makes perfect sense that on what is undoubtedly America's most "patriotic" holiday, Marvel would use America's pastime to promote The First Avenger.

You can't get more American than Captain America giving us fireworks on the 4th of July during America's favorite past-time.

Cool. I wish they were doing it for the Yankees/Mets game so I could see it. This is a very good idea by Marvel.

@ Gusto you were right on the money till you said "Go Tigers!" Then it all went downhill.....

Well Fenway is the Nations oldest MLB park, and will be celebrating it's 100th anniversary. So it would be cool to see them promote our Greatest American Hero. BTW screw u gusto!!

So, why isnt this flick coming out the 4th?? That would be badass and I guess that would make too much sense

This could be happening in more ball parks than listed in the article. These are all I could find for sure. I would venture a guess that it is league wide, these kind of promotions usually are BUT I couldn't find anything confirming or denying that.

You have to have the Cubs as part of the promotion. Their colors are already Red, White, and Blue.

I've been seeing the Braves commercial for about a month now and would love to go the game but then I remembered the expensive beer and traffic and decided to enjoy the game from the house! Go Bravo and Captain America!

SKGannbit - 7/1/2011, 11:47 AM
theHuch @ so are the Braves, and they're the better team :p

And baseball (unlike Football & BBall) is in labor harmony right now.

Go figure

Great, because GL punked the hell out of the NBA (the true reason for the lockout)! Go Marvel!!!

Yeah, forgot about that GL/NBA partnership.

If they could turn back time

Didn't SpiderMan do something like this as well?

I can't get over how much muscle "Johnny Storm" has now! This movie is looking better and making more sense with each trailer!

Go Braves!

Here's an early Independence Day gift for my fellow Americans



Yeah, I know it's not red, white and blue, but who cares ;)

For my British friends, here's a consolation prize :D

I thought Cap is from Brooklyn, and Dodgers is his team. Or probably the Mets. Everybody from Spider-Man to the Thing love the Mets.

@JackBauer

I live in Atlanta, but I was born in Tampa.

I HATE THE BRAVES!!!

Sorry, something I had to get off my chest.




NOUGH SAID!!!

JackBauer and Wildaniels, is a good thing it is not football we are talking about... there would be a three way deathmatch going on between us... I am from Charlotte NC and I am a die hard Panthers fan. You can tell I am die hard because even after last season I will admit to being a fan...

I do think it is a good idea to tie this into the July 4th celebration, but I do wonder why they did not release it on the forth. If ever a movie should've been it should have been this one...

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS ARE MY LIFE!!! LOL.

Maybe its because Transformers came out this week and they didnt want the movie to compete with them.
