Phillies send out cockfighting dvd's by mistake
Phillies DVD SurpriseCOLUMBUS, NJ-March 29, 2006 - A Phillies season ticket holder got a real surprise when he opened a promotional item from the team: Cockfighting on DVD.
A fan from Columbus, New Jersey had yet to renew his Phillies season tickets.
In the mail, he received a promotional DVD that was intended to get fans excited about the new season. But instead of commentary from Ryan Howard and Chase Utley, it was an extended video of cock-fighting in Spanish.
When the man from Burlington County called the Phillies, the team said they only had two complaints out of the 4,000 videos that were sent out. The team says it feels bad about the mix-up and is working with the vendor so something like this doesn't happen again.
