Strike-out pitched against the advertising lawyers...
CURVE TO HOLD FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT NIGHT JULY 2nd AT BCB May 23, 2006
ALTOONA- Inspired by a Los Angeles Angels fan who filed a lawsuit against the club because he did not receive a red nylon tote bag as part of the major league club's Mother’s Day promotion last May, the Altoona Curve have announced that they will be holding Salute to Frivolous Lawsuit Night as part of their Sunday, July 2nd game at Blair County Ballpark.
The Curve’s salute to all ridiculous lawsuits ever filed will include the following:
A Pink Tote Bag Giveaway to the first 137 men in attendance ages 18 and over
The first 137 women 18 and over will receive lukewarm coffee so they will not burn themselves
The first 137 kids will be given a beach ball with a warning not to ingest it
Angels merchandise and novelty items given away throughout the game
Honoring some of history's "Most Frivolous Lawsuits" during the game
A grand prize drawing in which one fan will receive a “clue” and their own frivolous lawsuit. Additional details will be announced later
“We realize that these giveaways as part of our Salute to Frivolous Lawsuit Night are fairly stupid and serve no real purpose,” said Curve General Manager Todd Parnell. “But if our fans don’t like them, then they can sue us!”
