The Minor League Baseball season is nearing its end, with various teams planning special promotions and events to engage fans. Here are some notable upcoming activities:

On September 7, the Rocket City Trash Pandas will honor the Huntsville Stars by wearing red throwback jerseys. The Trash Pandas, based in Madison, Alabama, filled the void left by the Stars' relocation to Biloxi in 2014.

The Mississippi Braves will play their final regular season game at Trustmark Park on September 8 before relocating to Columbus, Georgia in 2025. The first 1,000 fans will receive a commemorative coin.

LaMichael Mitchell Night will be celebrated by the Charlotte Knights on September 12. Mitchell, a long-time fan known for his dedication and enthusiasm, will be honored with a bobblehead giveaway for the first 1,000 attendees.

From September 13-15, the Indianapolis Indians will host Razor Shines Weekend to honor one of their most iconic players. Shines' No. 3 jersey will be retired during this event.

Portland Sea Dogs' Fan Appreciation Day is set for September 14. Players and coaches will don throwback uniforms and thank fans personally after emerging from a cornfield onto Hadlock Field's outfield grass.

The Tennessee Smokies will mark their last regular season game at Smokies Stadium on September 15 with a commemorative baseball giveaway for the first 2,000 fans before moving to Knoxville next season.
