The West Virginia Power had a pretty impressive home stand. Twice this week the Brewers' South Atlantic League franchise hosted the Promotion of the Day. Monday was a Salute to Indoor Plumbing.
They topped that with Thursday night's World’s Largest Tighty Whitey Race and the World's Fastest Fat Guy Race. Kristin Call, the Power’s Director of Promotions, was kind enough to send photos from Thursday night.
The top two photos are from the Tighty Whitey race, which may be one of the funniest new promotions The Dugout has seen in a while. Let's hope West Virginia keeps it as a between-inning promotion for the rest of the year. The Dugout boldly predicts that this promotion may soon be as popular as the dizzy bat race at ballparks across the country.
The bottom photo is a shot of the contestants in the Fat Guy race. The Dugout was hoping for some real lard asses, but most of these contestants seem only moderately overweight. And there are no overalls. Really hoped to see fat guys in overalls. Oh well.
By the way, just judging from these photos, the ballpark in West Virginia looks pretty cool. And pretty full, too. Nice going guys.
Good month: No one will be sorrier to see the month of May end than Charleston’s Mitch Hilligoss. The RiverDogs third baseman has a hit in every game this month. A single in his second at bat on Saturday extended Hilligoss' hit streak to 32 games, longest in professional baseball this year. If he keeps it up, MinorLeagueDugout.com will have to do a full feature on him. Give it a week.
Race Fans: Tomorrow is the Indy 500. The Dugout was fortunate enough to attend the race in 1993, and while the five-day jaunt to Indianapolis was the trip from hell the six hours spent at the Speedway were downright incredible. Those cars are really just low-flying missiles. Incredible. If you ever have the opportunity, check it out.
While fried chicken is the traditional fare at the Speedway, The Dugout spent Saturday preparing ribs and fixins. It’ll be a great day of racing.
