Have We Sunk This Far? |
Wow. Have we suddenly become fans of the minor league
Albuquerque Isotopes? On May 4th, your
Boston Red Sox—part of
Major League Baseball—will hold a rinky-dink bush league
Star Wars promotion. On that night the team will play another major league outfit called the
Tampa Bay Rays—but you wouldn't know it from this lame event. Touted as the
"inaugural Red Sox Star Wars event" (does that mean this idiocy will happen every year?), all fans who purchase tickets through a special website promotion will get (are you ready?) "a Death Star Baseball". Oh, by the way, fans will
also "see Star Wars characters at Fenway Park as part of the fun". We can't believe promotional king
Dr. Charles ("The Mad Dentist") Steinberg had anything to do with this. Are ticket sales really
that slow?
