How about the Baltimore Orioles? If you vote the maximum number of times for the All Star Game, you get a free upper reserved ticket (non-Yankees/Red Sox, of course) for after the All Star break. Desperation indeed!

Once upon a time, the Charleston Riverdogs (Yankee Single-A affiliate) had a “Tanya Harding Night.” Tanya was there to greet the crowd, and the first 1,000 fans received one of those tiny wooden baseball bats. I love that.

(They also once set the record for lowest attendance with a crowd of zero (another ‘promotion’. Some brilliant promotions there…some…not so great).

#8 is perfect. Being from NY, there is no end to the stories and jokes about how little the Yankee brass are in touch with the regular-guy game goer. When you have the most expensive team, and I use the term ‘team’ loosely, you must forgo the attendance of games by fans. But that’s the joke – since Yankees fans scream how their team is the best and then can’t afford to go to a game and root them on.

Ugh, I’m not insulted by the offers for the women’s night, but even those give-aways wouldn’t get me to a baseball game. Baseball is BORING!

What about “Disco Demolition Night” in 1979 when everyone brought their disco records to the ballpark and they were exploded in centerfeild?

What, no love for the Seattle Mariners’ I Can Has Cheesburger night?

Not too late to get tickets!

In San Diego we have a Stich N’ Pitch and a “Dog Days of Summer” where you can take your dog to the game.

Good times
