IronPigs Contest: Ask a Question, Win a Hat!

This is your opportunity to find out more about your favorite player AND win a prize!

Did you ever want to ask Domonic Brown how it felt when Phillies first baseman, Ryan Howard, called him the "total package?" Or what was going through Mike Zagurski's head the night he pitched after Brett Myers was placed on the disabled list? Or would you just like to know what Dave Herndon's favorite color is, how Drew Naylor likes living in America, or what Drew Carpenter's favorite food is? Well, now you can!

That's because Patch is sending me, The Brunette Lucy, along with a camera crew, to Coca-Cola Park on Thursday, May 26. Since we're all about our readers, we want to include you in this adventure by having you tell me what questions to ask which player. Bonus: because I'm not a sportswriter, you can ask just about any question (as long as it's family friendly). Of course, there are guidelines and rules (grumble, grumble), so Josh Popichak, the editor of Hellertown-Lower Saucon Patch, has listed them below. 

To sweeten the deal, everyone who asks a question and provides their name will be entered in a drawing to win one of two official IronPigs hats! First prize is an official IronPigs red baseball cap, and second prize is an official visor.

To ask a question, simply type it in the comment box below and hit "submit." That's all there is to it! We simply request that you ask one question at a time, and submit no more than one question per day.

So tell me what you want me to ask. I'm not shy! I'll ask as many questions as I can on camera, and we'll publish the video shortly after our trip. We can't guarantee that your question will be asked, but we'll sure try our best!
