Since the staff at Citizens Bank Park decided to take away our fun by dumping "College Night," I think it'd be a great idea to endorse something new for the 2008 season; "Hatfield Franks Get Your Eat-On" - whatever Mr. Eaton's ERA is heading into the game is the amount of Hatfield Franks each fan is entitled to get - FOR FREE! Let's face it, Phillies pitching is getting shelled this spring. I know, I know, it's spring training. News flash folks; we have 15 days until Opening Day. The 8-million dollar man is 0-2 with a 15.75 ERA so far. That's 15 franks free for every fan - multiply that by 44,000 or so 660,000 hot dogs - get the mustard and ketchup ready Phillies fans! On top of this new promotion we can also pencil in $1 draft nights. Pat Gillick can use the $200,000 dollars he saved by screwing Cole Hamels to beef up secruity at the Bank for all the drunks. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the fans need to run this organization.

New Promotion: Hatfield Franks Get Your Eat-on

Wow. Pure genious. Hot dogs and beer basically based upon how Adam Eaton pitches.
Just think, he will deffintely want to do better, not only for the team but, for the pure chaos and hazing he'd get from the hotdog filled, drunk skunks. Way to give the Phils Org. the imaginary literal middle finger.
Best idea I've seen in a while.
I gotta admit, this is genius.
Seattle did something similar at some of their local bars, where beers cost whatever Richie Sexson's batting average was on the given day. He ended up batting like .205 or something.
Of course this idea was pitched in Philly for Burrell, until he decided to start playing just like he's being paid to play.
Cleveland did $1 drafts, or .10 cent drafts or something (no sure if it was 20 or 40 years ago, thus the difference in price), but as I recall, it was listed as the second worst sporting event promotion of all time...behind Chicago's Demolition Disco Night...which involved explosives between a double-header.
I'd have a tear in my eye if there were $1 beers.
I like, too.
What the hell, though. No College night(s) this year?
