For the night of June 23rd, the Mets minor league affiliate will celebrate "Inaugural Tuesday" (5 months late) in one of the most unique giveaway ever by a sports franchise. Among the highlights of the festivities:
--> The team will rename itself (for a night) the BARACKLYN CYCLONES and wear special red, white, and blue jerseys adorned with the new name.

--> The first 2,500 fans arriving at the stadium will be given a free Barack Obama bobblehead, featuring the president in a Baracklyn Cyclones jersey.

--> The team's "economic stimulus plan" will roll back ticket prices to what they were in 2001.
--> Promoting universal healthcare, the first 1,000 fans inside will receive free Band-Aids.
--> Anyone named Barack will get in for free. Anyone named McCain or Palin, in a gesture of "Bi-Partisan Consolation," will receive a free bleacher seat. Anyone named Joe who happens to work as a plumber will get two free tickets, one for him and one for a friend in order to "spread the wealth."
--> Finally, the Cyclones will offer fans a "clear-cut Exit Strategy;" all fans will receive American flags and discount coupons upon leaving the ballpark.
Now that's why they call it the American pasttime. I wish I had come up with all those puns, but amazingly the team's management was clever enough to create the ideas for this fantastic event all on its own.

That is beyond fantastic. Can we go?!!
Haha already planning on it. I suppose we could try to make a grand group trip of it.
