    Came across a good one while looking something up:

    The Charleston RiverDogs held a "Leagalize [sic] Marinara Night."

    I remember one a few years ago where a team didn't allow fans in until the game became an official one because they wanted to set the record for lowest attendance at 0.

    My favorite was the indie league team in Arizona that had a "Ted Williams Night." All fans got a free popsicle.

    And they wonder why the league went bankrupt after a couple of weeks of play.

    Sounds like that Orioles game during the riots. What was the official attendance for that one?

    According to Baseball Reference, Attendance was Not Given

    I think the minor league team's promotion was a few years earlier.

    The Arkansas Travelers hold Clunker Car Night once or twice a season. Your ticket stub is your entry to win a car from a used car dealer that's a sponsor of the team. They give away a dozen or so. Sometimes they run; sometimes they don't. But it's one of the Travs' most popular promotions every year.

    And midget wrestling. Standard wrestling ring set up on the infield, and there's a couple of pre-game wrestling matches featuring little people. That's popular too.

    Think AL always announces tickets sold.

    That's fun. It'll only be 105 on the field at game time.
