Thumbs up Free Hit via twitter (if you're sort of a little bit quick)

On the US Airways Twitter:
USAirways US Airways
Get a head start! First 110 people to Tweet a pic from a game with a US Airways sign will win 1 hit & 500 bonus miles bit.ly/pylXgv
http://www.usairways.com/en-US/divid...21055_09012011
Grand Slam is back and we’re giving you a head start! Check us out on Twitter where the first 110 people to Tweet a picture from a game holding a US Airways sign will get 1 hit and 500 bonus miles.

Just remember:

You have to register for Grand Slam
You have to follow US on Twitter and include @USAirways in your response.
The person in the picture doesn’t have to be you; it can be anyone holding a US Airways sign.
If you’re not going to a baseball game this week you can get creative and take a picture at a little league or softball game.
If you win, you'll receive 500 bonus miles and 1 hit in the Grand Slam promotion
Twitter promotion runs from September 2 – September 9, 2011

You have to tweet the photo, and it'll be the first 110 to do so in chronilogical order. Tweets are timestamped, of course.

Little league season is over, the Diamondbacks are away for the weekend. I'd go do this for the hit but I have no clue what to do.

I'm enjoying the 15K Priority Club points and free baseball tickets from a local radio station I got all for retweeting their spam. You don't have to use twitter for anything but corporate information and prizes.

I think the question is, how will they match a successful tweet to a US account? If my tweet is successful, I'm hoping for a message via twitter asking for acct number.

I'm hoping they'll be lenient on the judging. I drove by the local minor league park and got a pic standing in front of it.

You could also swing by the your local softball fields, maybe there will be games there tonight...

Swung by the park with a friend, got my photo twitted, now to see if it counts. Twitter is exclusively for corporating shilling in my case too.

And they should not get a hit. The criteria is pretty clear:

"Tweet a picture from a game holding a US Airways sign"

and

"The person in the picture doesn’t have to be you; it can be anyone holding a US Airways sign."
