I am not familiar with the phenomenon Fan Pack.

Can you just send an e-mail and request one? Is it really that simple? What are the costs?

Thank you.

The Cleveland Indians wrote back to say they don't send fan packs out of the country! Just say no to international fans!

The Minnesota Twins also do not send fan packs internationally! So there are 2 teams who do not want to grow baseball internationally!

This is something that really bothers me about Major League Baseball and the clubs. I can imagine that they don't want to involve fans outside the US in sweepstakes that can make you win a trip to the World Series or All Star Game. It would be pretty expensive to buy a plane ticket for them.

But I saw a sweepstakes that could make fans win a complet authentic outfit (cap, jersey, jacket). But then again only US fans. MLB wants to make the sport more popular outside the US. I think this is a big opportunity to involve foreign fans in sweepstakes like the latter.

Yeah you just send them an email and some require a self addressed stamped envelope and some a postcard before responding. The cost beyond that is free.

It makes sense to not include international fans in trips or things involving players. However any other sweepstakes/contests should be open to all fans if you want to grow internationally. Either that or they should run a contest for international fans.

Thank you guys.

I have sent mails to the Yankees (of course), the Red Sox (for a friend of mine), the Dodgers (for my little nephew) and the Rays.

You can add the Mariners to that list.

The Mariners told me that they don't send fan packs outside the US and sent me a digital fan pack as a consolatiom.
