"Kristen" will take two tickets please...


This promotion has been approved by the South Coast League:

“If you look at Minor League Baseball as a whole, it’s all about the wildest, wackiest promotions out there,” South Coast League chief development officer J.D. Hardin said. “Hopefully, people will take this with a light attitude.”

Hardin said, as of Wednesday afternoon, Spitzer had not yet accepted or declined the invitation to attend the game. The promotion, however, will go on as planned regardless of Spitzer’s decision.

“I think this is probably the craziest idea to come out of the Music office yet,” Hardin said.

“Again, we’ll take it with the light-heartedness that’s intended behind it, but we intend to push forward with every one of those elements to make sure that Eliot Spitzer night goes off without a hitch.”
