Frivolous Lawsuit Night


these minor league baseball teams do come up with some wierd promo nights

ALTOONA- Inspired by a Los Angeles Angels fan who filed a lawsuit against the club because he did not receive a red nylon tote bag as part of the major league club's Mother's Day promotion last May, the Altoona Curve (AA/Eastern League) have announced that they will be holding Salute to Frivolous Lawsuit Night as part of their Sunday, July 2nd game at Blair County Ballpark.


The Curve's salute to all ridiculous lawsuits ever filed will include the following:


A Pink Tote Bag Giveaway to the first 137 men in attendance ages 18 and over

The first 137 women 18 and over will receive lukewarm coffee so they will not burn themselves

The first 137 kids will be given a beach ball with a warning not to ingest it

Angels merchandise and novelty items given away throughout the game

Honoring some of history's "Most Frivolous Lawsuits" during the game

A grand prize drawing in which one fan will receive a "clue" and their own frivolous lawsuit

Additional details will be announced later

"We realize that these giveaways as part of our Salute to Frivolous Lawsuit Night are fairly stupid and serve no real purpose," said Curve General Manager Todd Parnell. "But if our fans don't like them, then they can sue us!"


Curve President and Managing Partner Chuck Greenberg, himself a practicing corporate and sports attorney, declined to comment on his club's promotion because of concerns that his comments could lead to a frivolous lawsuit.


The Altoona Curve have become widely recognized for the fun, themed nights, including their annual "Awful Night" and the innovative "2006 Retro Celebrity Series", which is bringing 11 of the most popular names from some of televisions most popular shows to Blair County Ballpark during the 2006 season. The club was honored by Minor League Baseball as the winner of the 2004 Larry MacPhail Award for promotional excellence among all affiliated minor league clubs.

just when you think that one is bad enough. check this one out

Vasectomy Night LMFAO

Vasectomy Night, Charleston (S.C.) RiverDogs: This Father’s Day promotion would have given a lucky fan a free vasectomy, but it was nixed after the mayor and a local bishop who happened to be a season ticket holder complained.

_ Tonya Harding Mini-Bat Night, Charleston RiverDogs: Fans received a miniature bat and the former figure skater was on hand to autograph them.

_ Enron Night, Portland (Ore.) Beavers: Paper shredders were at the gates and the announced attendance was later adjusted downward.

_ Nobody Night, Charleston RiverDogs - The 1,800 fans who showed up were locked out of the stadium for a tailgate party until the fifth inning, when the game became official. Announced attendance: zero.

_ Mime-O-Vision Night, St. Paul Saints - Five mimes acted out plays atop the dugout. Concession sales were strong, but staff had to escort the mimes out after fans hurled hot dogs at the actors.

_ Silent Night, Charleston RiverDogs: Fans taped their mouths and sat in silence, using signs to cheer, boo and get the beer man’s attention. Librarians served as ushers.
