Fans who stick around through the game will be provided with a roll of toilet paper to blanket the ballpark in TP. Fans will also have the opportunity to participate in various small pranks throughout the evening. However, stay on the lookout for Charlie or you might be pranked yourself.

Sunday, June 1, 5:05pm – MUSC Health Family Sunday; Charlie’s not so spooky Halloween
Costumes, candy, crafts and more highlight our Hallo-Week edition of MUSC Health Family Sunday. Fans of all ages are encouraged to wear their best costume, and young fans should plan to trick-or-treat on the concourse. The RiverDogs will host special characters – including princesses, pirates, and mermaids – to snap photos with. Don’t eat too much candy during the game, because kids run the bases postgame. Like every Sunday, parking is free. Be sure to sign up your little RiverDogs fan for the MUSC Children’s Health Kids Club for added perks. Sundays are presented by Mix 95.9, Star 99.7 and ABC News 4.
