Do you remember when the St. Paul Saints gave away Larry Craig bobbleheads as a promotion?
Actually, it wasn't really a bobblehead. It was a bobblefoot.
Once again, the Saints are doing a topical promotion.
What has the country talking this summer? Anthony Weiner. Another day, another Weiner photo.
The St. Paul Saints have plans to celebrate National Hot Dog Day with a nod to the infamous Weiner.
I suppose it's fitting that the Saints are doing this promotion.
Following the latest scandal sometimes seems to rival baseball as America's pastime.
The best Wieners in the country are found at ballparks. They have the foot-long Wiener in Los Angeles, sausage race in Milwaukee and some of the juiciest dogs around are in Chicago. The St. Paul Saints will unveil perhaps the most famous Wiener this summer on National Hot Dog Day.
That was a nice shout-out to our Racing Sausages!
On Saturday, July 23 the first 1,501 fans 18 and over in attendance will receive a commemorative pair of Tweeting Wiener Boxer Shorts. The boxers will honor National Hot Dog Day with an image on the front of a blue bird taking a photo of a Wiener with his phone.
The state that has received the biggest coverage, of late, for its Wiener’s is New York. Photographic evidence (and police records) show they come in all shapes and sizes, and can be sent across the world via cell phones and the internet. Of course, we’re referring to the Annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest held annually on July 4. Two lucky fans will have a chance to win round trip tickets to the July 4, 2012 contest. In order to win, fans can tweet a photo of their best-looking Wieners (from the grill) to @StPaulSaints. Twitter accounts hacked into will be ineligible initially. On July 23, the photos will be shown on the Saints video board and fans will choose a contest Wiener.
During the evening, the Saints will have their very own Tweeting Wiener, as Master of Ceremonies Joe Wiener (seriously, that’s his name) will send out tweets and twit pics during the night from the top of the third base dugout. It is expected that following the game, Saints fans will encourage Wiener to resign.
The St. Paul Saints are an Independent Baseball Team in the American Association and are owned and operated by the Goldklang Group and Team President Mike Veeck. They are known for such promotions as Bud Selig Seat Cushion Giveaway (2002), Randy Moss Hood Ornament (2003), The Love Boat Giveaway (2006), Bobblefoot (2008) and Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy (2008).
It would be nice for the Saints to send DEMOCRAT Weiner a commemorative pair of the Tweeting Wiener Boxer Shorts, though based on the photos I've seen of Weiner, he's not a boxers kind of guy.
He prefers to wear something a bit more snug, or he wears nothing at all.
