I am a HUGE fan of Minor league baseball. Feed Your Face Night; The BK Strike Out King of the game, if a certain player on the opposing team strikes out anytime during the game everyone gets a free whopper; $2 hot dogs any game night; $10 gets you on the front row; players handing kids their game bats as they head to the locker rooms which just so happen to double as the restrooms in the ticket office; goofy games played by randomly chosen fans with the chance to win tickets; the list goes on and on and on. As a dad and baseball lover it is great to be able to take my kid to a game for under $30 for the both of us. $30 at a MLB game gets me sitting next to the pidgeons while praying my nose don't bleed.
So, with this said, I happened upon a story today that mentioned the UFL, I thought it was a misprint and they meant the USFL. I did some research (yeah, I googled it) and ran across this website which promises to deliever quailty fan friendly football starting in the fall 2009. It sounded like a great idea and the way I read it it can become Mnor League Football. All the quality football we know and love without the sky high pricing and the big name players. By golly I think they are one to something here. How cool would it be to have $1 doller dog night while watching a decent football game. Brillant I think.
And speaking of Googleing, it too must have thought I mis-typed because I got a link to the New USFL!!! I was like no way! Way! How col is that? I was a BIG fan of the Memphis Showboats! Yeah, it was a real team in a real league not the name of a cross dressing Vegas "showgirl" who had a southern accent. My hands are shaking with excitement as I read this...what is next? Are they going to make a real life verison of He-Man and Masters of the Universe?
Here's a throwback for all you children of the '80's:
