The Long Island Ducks host Opening Night at Fairfield Properties Ballpark on Tuesday, May 2, when they host the Staten Island FerryHawks in the opener of a three-game series. 

The first 1,500 fans in attendance will receive Ducks Reversible Bucket Hats, courtesy of P.C. Richard and Son. Fans are encouraged to be in their seats by 6:15 to enjoy pregame team introductions.

Mets fans can see some of their favorite former Mets in action - including manager Wally Backman and 2015 NL Championship MVP, Dan Murphy. 

It’s a Triple Play Tuesday as well! If the Ducks turn a triple play during the game, one lucky fan will win $25,000. Simply sign up prior to first pitch at the Ticket Kiosk on the main concourse to be eligible.

While you're here, enjoy all the fun the ballpark has to offer including yummy ballpark fare, the kids fun zone and amazing on-field promotions and giveaways! Don't forget to get a selfie with Quackerjack!
