Sunday afforded the opportunity to bring your dog to watch a St. Paul Saints baseball game, a ridiculous concept that nonetheless reeled us in for a second consecutive year. Does a dog give a damn about baseball? No. But people like to congregate with their pets, so why not? That picture is of a shark mascot that frightened several dogs and caused our pug to bark uncontrollably. But we digress: it seems you can’t swing a cat (transition?) these days without finding some sort of promotion at a game. Some are basic (hey, a magnet schedule!) and some are not (bobblefoot, anyone? Thanks, Larry Craig!). The Twins, as we noted some time back, are having a couple of All You Can Eat nights in about two weeks. In the interest of curiosity, we thought we’d ask: if you could create your ideal promotion — within reason, of course. That $2 home plate hot tub night isn’t going to fly — what would it be? For us, it would be something like Stu’s Hunt Down, where a random player from the past was brought in for home games and given license to just talk for 10 minutes in front of the crowd about what they’ve been up to. But that’s just us. What about you?
