The Jaunt considers the many promotions and giveaways at sporting events throughout the season, and hand-picks the best of the week.
MLB – Minnesota Twins – Metrodome
Friday, July 31 vs Los Angeles Angels, 7:10 p.m.
- Justin Morneau Wind-Up Walker (first 10,000 fans)
There were many worthy promos around the league this week, for example Rickey Henderson Day which we have already touched on. But I kind of wanted to get other teams involved who haven’t been featured much in POTW. Plus, the “Twinkies” certainly do have an odd enough giveaway planned for Friday when fans will receive a scary-looking Justin Morneau wind-up figurine. The likeness is spot-on…if they were going for Conan O’Brien’s sidekick, Andy Richter. Nonetheless…it’s all about effort.
