Yeah, somebody didn't think this one through
Most of the promotions we get around MLB are pretty good and they usually all have a pretty big success rate I'd say. Two of the more popular promo nights around baseball are fireworks and bringing your dogs to the ballpark. Who doesn't love a good "bark in the park" or "pups in the park" night? Those promo nights sound great, except if you combine them and have a ballpark full of dogs with fireworks going off.

I'm sorry, but the concept of bringing all these dogs into the stadium and then setting off fireworks to scare the hell out of them just sounds funny to me. Baseball is probably the most boring game to watch except for Soccer -- but having dogs going nuts would make me buy a ticket.
ReplyDeleteYou're obviously not a dog owner. There's nothing funny about watching a dog either freak out or go catatonic over loud noises.
DeleteClearly not a dog owner. While my dogs are exposed to loud noises, gunfire, etc., I've seen what others dogs do. Even when they're inside the house. They're terrified, and it's not funny or cool at all. I feel sorry for both them and the owners.
DeleteShoulda save fireworks night for "Take your side chick to the game night" and then dropping a dime to the wives
ReplyDeleteMost of the dogs I’ve had in my life were afraid of fireworks. The first GSD I had loved em, though. She also loved the kids getting excited over them. That old girl was something. Eod1sg Ret
ReplyDeleteCharlieGodammit wasn't bothered the slightest by gunfire or fireworks. That asshole dog Jack on the other hand is terrified by them. Even thunder - if we've got heavy thunderstorms in the forecast, I have to drug him.
DeleteHave seen a bunch of hunting dogs who associate gunshots with fun. Actually, I have one of those at home too.
DeleteThe same dog that wanted to join the neighbor's roofing crew, too - they have blaze orange (hard) hats and (nail) guns, they must be friends...
I've had pugs for 50 years and fireworks never bothered any of them. Gunshots either for the most part- my current Pug doesn't like when I shoot my .44 magnum but others don't bother her. But anyone that thinks it's funny to be mean to a dog is a dick.
DeleteIIRC, the Cleveland Indians once did Nickel Beer Nite and Souvenir Bat Nite at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't end well.
Damn - that's a game I'm sorry I missed. I once bounced a bar where they had dime beer Tuesday with a pool tournament. That was a hoot.
DeleteFireworks, bring the kids for free, or half price, 2 dogs for the price of one sure.... Bringing a bunch of dogs that don't know each other into close proximity to each other then setting off fireworks,NO

Didn't the Tigers do a disco night where they blew up disco records? Molton vinyl flew everywhere..

ReplyDeletePoor planning or just another great idea in DC....

Best Ever - White Sox "I Hate Disco Night". The record burn led to a forfeit of the 2nd game of the doubleheader.
ReplyDeleteSecond Best - Our Charleston Riverdogs "GBTO night". Go Back To Ohio. Bring proof you lived in Ohio and you get $1 beer all night. Sadly, it was discontinued 7-8 years ago.
