The Richmond Flying Squirrels recently announced additional promotions for the final series at The Diamond, including former player appearances and special concessions. 

The promotions are part of “Diamonds Aren’t Forever: The Farewell Series,” which runs Tuesday through Saturday. “We’re going all-in to make as many lasting memories as possible during the final homestand at The Diamond,” Flying Squirrels General Manager Anthony Oppermann said. “Every game throughout the week is going to be special.” 

Thursday will feature a “Hot Dog Happy Hour” from 5:30-7:30 p.m. with 2-for-1 hot dogs and drink specials. 

Former outfielder Jacob Heyward will appear Friday to sign autographs. Heyward played for Richmond from 2019-22 and was named Most Valuable Player of the 2019 Eastern League All-Star Game at The Diamond. He currently manages the San Francisco Giants’ rookie affiliate and was named Arizona Complex League Manager of the Year this season. 

Former pitcher Daryl Maday will appear for Sunday’s finale. Maday pitched for the Flying Squirrels from 2010-13 and started the franchise’s first game at The Diamond on April 15, 2010. He also started the team’s first playoff game in 2011 and recorded the final three outs in the franchise’s first no-hitter in 2013.
