And speaking of kicky promotions . . .
On on May 14, 1982, a bench-clearing brawl erupted during a Twins-Tigers game in Detroit.
During the fracas, Tigers pitcher Dave Rozema stormed out of the dugout and attempted to deliver a flying karate kick to the Twins' John Castino. Rozema whiffed, tore eight ligaments in his knee and had season-ending knee surgery the next day.
I told you that so that I can tell you this:
Tonight, the West Michigan Whitecaps (Comstock Park, Mich.) are giving away Dave Rozema karate kick bobble-leg dolls.
Hey, Anthony and Jim: Let's chip in and buy one of these on eBay for Hammerin' Hank's desk. (That's our boss; he's into mixed martial arts.)
