There was a second phase?

The Quad Cities River Bandits have apparently reached phase two of their Name the Promotion thing-a-ma-bob. That link will take you to a place you can vote on the following choices:

Bandit wedding - One lucky couple that will have the wedding of a lifetime - on the Modern Woodmen Park diamond right before a River Bandits game!

Beverage Batter - If the River Bandits player selected pre-game delivers a base hit during the contest, everybody in attendance benefits from beverage discounts for the remainder of the inning!

Elvis Night - A full-blown promotional night dedicated to The King himself!

Rascal Kids Hat Giveaway - What more exciting of a giveaway item can we plan then one with a kids hat featuring our lovable mascot, Rascal?

Van Down By the River - A few lucky fans each night would have the opportunity to take in a ballgame from a River Bandits van parked on the right field berm!

Before getting to the part of part of the post where I have a little fun with the promotions, how about a little game based on the choices above...You know the one...

The answer is Rascal Kids Hat Giveaway. It is the only choice to end with a '?' instead of a '!'

The choice that was most popular in the office yesterday was the Down by the River. But, I didn't know that we had so many CSNY fans. Plus, it's not one of their most well-known songs. Plus, I don't see how you can build a promotion around this song:


I guess you could give a dollar off to anyone with a Neil Young haircut or a David Crosby leather jacket with all the fringes or a sarape like what either Graham Nash or Stephen Stills is wearing....what? Oh, Van Down by the River? What's that?

Okay.

What? Oh.

I think my choice would be:

But that's just me.

And this is all well and good, but the windows in the press box at Modern Woodmen Park still don't open.
