Random Wednesday Thoughts
For March 14th:
1. So, Ben Affleck - probably the most visible Sox fan - is now going to help train a new generation of Red Sox fans! From boston.com:
2. Over on the SG message board the other day, someone was lamenting the lack of give-aways and promotional days at Fenway Park this year. I looked - and they're right. There isn't a single "special." Granted, most teams do these to attract fans to the park, and the Sox are already practically sold out for the season. Still, would it kill them to give out magnetic schedules or ball caps? Using an idea that I saw at Camden Yards last year, how about a Dustin Pedroia Growth Chart? At least I can experience some promos when I travel this summer - heck, one night in Atlanta is Asian Heritage Night (think Dice-K will pitch that night?) and one night in San Diego is 80's Retro Night!
3. Speaking of the Road Trip, I've gotten on the email list for the Padres and the Mariners. Today, the Mariners made their new 2007 commercials available on their team site. Without a doubt, the Mariners have some very creative minds producing these ads. They're always hysterical! Check out the "Double Play Twins"!
4. Speaking of hysterical, check out this year's Red Sox Spring Training Cookie-Off! Last year, Gabe Kapler and Dan Roche faced off - having the Sox vote on their favorite cookies. They repeated the challenge this year, with Kevin Youkilis getting into the mix, too. It's pretty funny. And check out last year's while you're at it - our departed Bronson sings the theme song and long-gone Trot does his Cookie Monster impression!
5. Finally, this is one of my least favorite times in the sports year. "March madness" I am ssoo sick of it already and they've only played one game. Thankfully, my spring break usually falls during the first week of competition, so I'm saved from the wall-to-wall coverage!
1. So, Ben Affleck - probably the most visible Sox fan - is now going to help train a new generation of Red Sox fans! From boston.com:
Ben Affleck may have scored his best gig yet. The rabid Red Sox fan and father of 1-year-old Violet will be heard in the new kiddie DVD "Red Sox Baby: Raising Tomorrow's Boston Red Sox Fan Today" when it comes out next month. The DVD promises to help teach "counting, spelling, and color recognition. It will also instill a love of the Red Sox in young ones," according to a promotional blurbBetter drop it into your Amazon cart today!
