Just because you aren't on the team doesn't mean you can' t play this season. A nd by "play," w e mean baseball bingo, not actual base ball. We know the Wahoo's make it look easy, but that 's because they ’re really good. Trus t us—hitting a curve ball at 80 mph isn't something just anybody can do . So, join us all se ason long as w e tr y and get "bin go" by seeing co ol plays (like a gr and slam) and funny fan moments (like "The Wob ble" ). You can play al ong with us via In satgram. Fill out th e card by uplo ading photos of the various "boxes " as you see them happ en. Make sure you use the hashta g #INWahoo Bi ngo so we can see them too.
