Wiffle bat?

Do they still have a Bat Day, where they give out full-sise wood bats?

The Phillies haven't done that in years--maybe decades. The Reading Phils did one about 10 years ago to honor Ryan Howard. Looking on eBay, the A's and Yankees have done it already this year. I only see a Yankees full-size bat giveaway last year.
