The dizzy bat race is one of the greatest staples that Minor League Baseball teams have at their disposal for in-game promotions. Check out the video from Sunday’s Class AA Arkansas Travelers game in Little Rock where two lucky participants competed in the dizzy bat race.

It was another great week of caption submissions on the Bud Selig picture. This week’s winner is Rob!
Rob’s caption read, “MAHONEY!?!” Obviously – it was referring to the “podium gag” from one of the Police Academy movies. So, Rob – you are this week’s winner. Make sure to check your email.

Today, I heard about two separate and unrelated baseball promotions taking place in the near future. One will happen tonight at the St. Paul Saints game. The Saints are well known for their wacky promotions and tonight’s does not surprise me at all.

The lucky first 2,500 fans will receive an item recognizing National Tap Dance Day and an incident that took place in a Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport bathroom stall, involving Idaho Senator Larry Craig.
