"A new low" is how my friend put it.

My friend who maintains season tix at Mays Field passed along this email from the Giants.  I wish I could say that this is a joke.

I hope you will all refrain from making "Omar Vizquel" comments in response.

AT&T Park, the home of your San Francisco Giants, will be the site of the "Aflac Presents Brian Boitano Skating Spectacular," starring musical guest Barry Manilow on Wednesday, December 5, at 8:00 p.m. PT.

The show, set to Manilow's Music of the 70's album, which was released today, is choreographed by Renee Roca, two-time U.S. ice dancing champion. The December 5th performance will also be taped for future airings on NBC and The Style Network.

"Aflac Presents Brian Boitano Skating Spectacular" will be the first ice show ever held at AT&T Park. The two-hour performance will take place on a 60' by 120' ice rink constructed on the ballpark's infield. In addition, this unique event benefits George Mark Children's House (www.georgemark.org), which opened in the Bay Area in March 2004 to provide an important addition to the continuum of care for children with serious and terminal illnesses and their families.

Joining Olympic Gold Medalist Boitano and international music icon and performing legend Manilow will be Olympic gold medalists Dorothy Hamill, David Pelletier and Viktor Petrenko as well as world and Olympic skaters, including world champion Yuka Sato, two-time U.S. pairs champion and Olympian Jason Dungjen and eight-time British champion and Olympian Steven Cousins. In addition, ice acrobats Vladamir Besedin and Oleksiy Polishuk will perform.
