Red Bull Plays Ball With Facebook Places In San Francisco

San Francisco Giants player Tim Lincecum and his sponsor Red Bull are using Facebook Places in a new promotion on the streets of San Francisco.

San Francisco Giants player Tim Lincecum and his sponsor Red Bull are using Facebook Places in a new promotion on the streets of San Francisco.

The scavenger hunt has already been running for a few days and there are today and Thursday left to go. The idea is that autographed Red Bull baseballs have been dropped across the city – one for each of the 11 strikeouts Tim pitched. A picture of each baseball has been uploaded at a specific location and the first fan to arrive and check-in there using Facebook Places with the password “San Francisco’s Got Wings” wins the baseball.

Fans unable to participate in the scavenger hunt can enter Tim’s “October Heat” Facebook photo contest instead for a chance to win a signed baseball.
