MLB and State Farm are running an interesting promotion for the All Star game in New York. Fans get a chance to call there shot a la Babe Ruth. Sure there’s no Arizona bent to this story but wouldn’t you love to go to Yankee stadium in your Diamondbacks gear and remind them that the 2001 World Series did happen, just watch out for flying batteries:

Here’s how the promotion works: Fans can enter the promotion daily through June 24 (THIS TUESDAY) at www.sfCallYourShot.com/2008. The grand prize winner of Call Your Shot will win:

* All-expense paid trip for four to the All-Star Game and State Farm Home Run Derby

* First class hotel accommodations in New York

* Tickets to a Broadway show

* $1,000 MasterCard gift card

The grand prize winner will also get the chance to pick a spot to which two of the Home Run Derby players must compete to try to hit a ball. If the first player hits the ball to the called spot, the promotion ends. If either player succeeds, the fan receives a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid vehicle and a 2009 season-ticket package for any team.

Additionally, 10 fans will win first place prizes consisting of a $300 MLB.com gift card and 25 second place prize winners will receive $100 MLB.com gift cards.
