Minor League Baseball Promotions

The Long Beach Armada of Los Angeles of California of the United States of North America Including Barrow, Alaska reacted to the recent NFL dogfighting scandal by hosting Michael Vick Animal Awareness Day. Fans were encouraged to bring their dogs to the game and anyone who brought a Vick jersey or shirt was given free admission. The in-game promotions were changed to make the dogs more welcome, including a doggie first pitch, a wiener dog race and dog washes. And don’t worry about the dogs leaving a mess on the field.

The Lowell Spinners put on Political Correctness Night. The names of the positions were changed, leaving the Spinners playing “first base-person” or “vertically challenged stop.” In a classy touch, errors weren’t announced to the crowd so the players didn’t get embarrassed.


Mullet Night is the kind of promotion only Jeff Foxworthy could love. Fans seeing the Portland Beavers are urged to dress up like rednecks and participate in toilet seat horseshoes and the unofficial hub-cap tossing world championship.


Drag in Drag Night has been in the works for a long time. Brave volunteers from the Winston-Salem Warthogs front office volunteered to dress up in drag for this game, but only four will get the, um, honor. Throughout the month of July, fans could donate money to one man’s jar; the four lucky winners will get to drag the infield in dresses. And no, it’s not all for kicks; all the money raised is going to the Special Olympics.




Finally flocculent fans can show of their unintentional sweaters at the Hairiest Back in Louisville Contest at this Louisville Bats game. The winner of the contest gets free hair removal courtesy of Avanti Skin Centers.
