This minor league promotion is really stinky
I love stupid minor league promotions, but this one by the Auburn Doubledays of the NY-Penn League has the potential to really reek.
The Doubledays close out the season next Monday with some kind of "fight global warming" day. Here's the three-pronged plan, allegedy devised by Abner the Mascot:
1 Pinwheels giveaway.
2. Baked beans at the concession stand "to increase natural gas output."
3. Human hydro power creaded by the staff leading fans in the wave.
"The wind created by the standing and sitting of the fans will make the pinwheels handed out earlier spin and then a renewable energy system will be created," the team's press release said, according to Benjamin Hill of the minorleaguebaseball.com
OK, who in their right mind would want to eat beans, drink beer and be in a crowd of gassy people who have done the same?
Sounds like a Final Score road trip to me.
