What does Griffey get for hitting the Subway sign?

So last night, Ken Griffey hits a long home run (with a pink bat) with the ball hitting the "Fit hit - $25,000" Subway banner/sign hanging in deep right in the Metrodome. Actually the replays seem to show the ball going right through the banner but that might be beside my point.

What does Griffey get for hitting the banner? $25,000? A free sub? Absolutely nothing?

Does he need to file a claim?

Does he have to fill out any insurance paperwork?

Does he need to submit a witness affidavit to the feat?

Is he not eligible due to his status as an opposing player? In that case, will he get a bill for the ripped banner?

Are you going to pay up or not, Subway?

Enquiring minds want to know.

A fan in attendance wins the $25,000.

...But Subway’s “Hit it Here $25,000” banner has a hole with a net basket attached behind it. The Twins' announcers set the record straight. Subway only pays $25,000 for a Twins hitter to hit not just the banner, but through the hole and stay in the net basket...and then then the money would go to a fan in attendance. I think that the Durham Bulls "Hit Bull win Steak / Hit Grass win Salad is far easier to understand, and a much better promotion.
