Businessman Specials

They call early afternoon baseball games “Businessman Specials.”

You might ask... why?

After playing a full game the night before, the teams aren't going to be at their best. So, the players take the day off and the front office suits up.

Ever seen a marketing and branding specialist try to charge a bunt from third?

Almost as ugly as one trying to justify seven-dollar beers while watching a sub-500 cellar-dwelling bum squad.

Or your 100 million dollar cleanup man picking up a broom and cleaning up the stands.

Seen his slugging percentage?

Better make him mop.
