The Reading Phillies have an interesting notion for the Eastern League Home Run Derby this year.
While the derby's going on, there will be...
* a fanfest in the infield, with a bar at second base
* a Grammy-winner performing live music in front of home plate
* mascots making catches in the outfield, causing negative points to the home run hitters
* pink flamingos, an employee poised in a dunk tank, an employee suspended from a crane and a trampoline in the outfield
This is serious. Okay, maybe it's not serious, but they're totally going to do it.
I love, too, how the R-Phils' GM is so enthusiastic in this video about the "balls sizzling over the head" of fans and a Grammy-winner.
Maybe if they cut back on the chaos just a little, or maybe a lot, there'd be no problem. As it is, I'm thinking there's enormous train wreck potential here.
(On the bright side, the bar has been raised. Your move, every other minor league home run derby.)
