If you did live in the bible belt you might be strangled by it.But I don't live in the fairy tale belt.

that's some righteous xtian ideology right there.If you did live in the bible belt you might be strangled by it.
Some of the players think so. See christian players do the sign of the cross which is a catholic sign lol or point to the sky. Like God cares that they hit a home run.
Really? Never in my life have I heard of a professional sports team having a religious day. But I don't live in the fairy tale belt. Never has there been a Redskins Christian day, thank god. Apparently MLB has done this with some teams for years. I personally find it repugnant, but MLB is so greedy they will promote anything. NAMBLA Day, Creationist Day, Jews for Jesus Day, Atheist for God Day and on and on.
Just stick to baseball.
All tongue in cheek of course. Funny how they don't want for anyone else to force their beliefs upon them yet they are all too quick to do the same thing to others. It reminds me of one day where my youngest son and I were sitting at a red light near the University Mall in Pensacola when the local seminary bible beaters were standing on the corner waiving their bibles yelling at motorists. I gave the radio volume a little increase and they came right up to my car window, okay more like ran up to it and started yelling at us like drug addled monkeys. The saddest part about this is that I'm actually a Christian that cannot stand most other ones real or otherwise.that's some righteous xtian ideology right there.
uh huh, and were you not a PROUD member for the florida republican party as well?All tongue in cheek of course.

Do they have Jewish day? A day for Muslims? Buddhists? Atheists? Wiccans?
The only religion important to baseball is pure faith. The faith that finally delivered to the most deserving of fans, after generations of devout belief, in Red Sox nation and the Chicago Cubs.
All the rest is garbage and insulting.
I've been a member of the R, D, I, NPA and Whig so take your pick.uh huh, and were you not a PROUD member for the florida republican party as well?
I offered up a burn offering one time...my bbq grill caught on fire.I'd actually go to a game if they sacrificed a live chicken to Jobu on home plate.
A lot of baseball teams have problems with filling the seats in their stadiums. They have all kinds of programs like this that they use to fill the seats. Often they will sell tickets below price to community groups, to minorities to cub scouts and boy scouts, local schools etc. Often these people dont really have enough money for the price of a ticket. Sometimes they use companies and businesses that want to have a group outing and they offer a discount, or they offer seats in areas like the Knuckle or the outfield area near the foul base line for half price.
Sheesh! enough already. It's a promotion. Teams do it all the time. They target a group or groups and have a special day for them. Probably offered discount packages for church groups to bring them in. Christians are a demographic. It is ok for a business to market to them. Pretty sure there is a pride day as well. I know the local double A team near me had one of those already. Almost every game is some kind of promotion targeting a demographic. It is called building your brand.
No big deal, Don't attend if you have an issue with it.
Ya - that's not how it works.
I'm sure you'd say the same thing if it Muslim Night? Or what about "Fuck pcgeek11 night"?
You know, I take these sorts of gestures as something else other than "God wanted me/us to win/hit an HR/whatever". I take it as thanking God for their talent, which not every person has, and are acknowledging that fact.
True, you could argue it's just genetics, but some attribute God to their genetic lottery luck.

Hooters girls night and I'm all in.Would you feel better if they had an alphabet night?
Well, that would be interesting (insert any name here). And from what very little I know of pcgeek11 through these boards, he strikes me as someone that would probably be cool with that, and would very likely attend.
It all depends on if the fucker is female and hot, yes I would attend...
