RHIR First Prize Winners

TEAM Coalition and Major League Baseball support the responsible fan programs at MLB ballparks every season with a special incentive called the Responsibility Has Its Rewards (RHIR) sweepstakes. Fans who register to be responsible fans pledge to drink alcohol responsibly, find a safe ride home and always buckle up.

At the end of the season, one Responsible Fan for the Season from each Club is selected. The Responsible Fans for the Season from the Clubs that compete in World Series will each receive the Grand Prize of the Sweepstakes. The Grand Prize of the Sweepstakes is two (2) tickets to the first World Series® game played in the home ballpark of their favorite MLB Club.

A First Prize for the RHIR sweepstakes is also awarded. The 28 remaining Responsible Fans for the Season whose Clubs do not compete in the World Series are qualified to win the first prize. The first prize is a trip to the MLB All-Star Game during the next MLB season. That winner will be chosen randomly from the remaining 28 Responsible Fans for the Season. The All-Star Game® trip includes two (2) tickets to the game, round trip airfare, and hotel accommodations (if necessary).
