Goofy minor league promotions

A recent development has been teams changing their nickname (and uniforms) for one night, usually as some kind of food. The Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies like to play one night (?) a year as the Fresno Tacos, and this year the Albuquerque Isotopes will join the fun as they will play as the Green Chile Cheeseburgers against the Tacos.

 

My buddy won a clunker van at a Lake Elsinore Storm game (Padres Cal League team). The dealer gave him something like $200 on the spot to buy it back.

 

So the cash for clunkers program was a success.

 

Reminds me of how I got food poisoned back in October 2008. Shit....

 

I feel there's a missed opportunity to not have the Isotopes be Krusty burgers for one night.

 

The Grizzlies have never been a club to shy away from crazy promotional ideas. In addition to Taco Tuesday promotions, they have a "Taco Truck Throwdown" cookoff once a year - and this was before last year's presidential campaign. They've racheted it up over the last couple of years when they became the top farm club of the Astros after losing their affiliation with the Giants.

 

I want to be there when the Montgomery Biscuits give out free, well, biscuits. And it sho' would make this man feel happy to see white gravy on the side.

 

They launch them (plain) with air cannons. If you want gravy you'll have to get one from the concession stand.

 

This one may not end well.

Ok apart from the fact the team it's going to catch hell for the absolute misogyny of this idea, I have to question one part of this story

Salt Lake City is providing women to gawk at?

 

Apparently not.

 

Someone is going to have a hell of a "I got fired because" story
