I wanna work for a minor league front office
I wanna sit around thinking of stupid gimmicks all day. I wanna send out press releases about the stupid gimmicks and then giggle derangedly when they get picked up in national media.
Okay...next month...we're gonna sign a guinea pig! And start him at shortstop!

Seriously
gotta do something to get people to come on a Tuesday night. I used to work for the Modesto Nuts (A+ for the Rockies) and there were some games where we would have 50 people in the stands.
Baseball is a lot like life. The line drives are caught, the squibbles go for base hits. It's an unfair game. -Rod Kanehl

Really? I went to an AHL game recently and they had 10,000+ people in the crowd. With a Sixers game going on across the parking lot. I guess it most be different for MiLB, I wouldn’t think so but I guess so.
How much are the tixs? The AHL tixs were 10 bucks.

It wasn’t a problem with the pricing, the best seats in the house were only $9. The main issue was the weather. Sometimes during the summer it is still 100+ for a 7pm start. Combine the high heat with very little shade around the stadium and you don’t have much of a draw.

ideas
50 cent snowcones
Dollar bottled water
Dollar beers
Free general admission
Sorority/Fraternity night
let local youth sports teams sell tickets to raise cash
but I am sure you have thought of these before
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.

Not a minor league team
but I loved it when the A’s used to have dollar Wednesdays… My dad would get 4 hot dogs for 4 dollars, and I’d eat three of em.
But please, no sorority/fraternity night. I’d rather sit next to a family of crying babies and Dodger fans than a bunch of frat guys.

They still have dollar Wednesdays...
I mean I guess it’s $2 now for tix, but hot dogs are still $1. And there’s no restrictions, so you can see the Yanks, Red Sox, or Giants for $2.

Needs more beer batter
If you’re going to have an attention-grabbing novelty food item, you might as well go all out.

My heart slowed just looking at those pics.
Don't think, it could only hurt the ballclub.
