The chant for "donuts" was so widespread at Dolphin Stadium this weekend when the Marlins scored eight runs Saturday night and six runs Sunday afternoon that Dunkin' Donuts has altered its new promotion with the team. When the Marlins score at least six runs at home this season, fans have 24 hours in which to cash in their ticket stubs (one per customer per visit) for two donuts and a medium coffee.

It seems not all franchises had gotten word of the new promotion over the weekend -- all locations in Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties and the Treasure Coast are supposed to honor it. Fans who were turned away can call customer relations at: 1-800-859-5339.

XM MAKES THE CALL

Meanwhile, three baseball stars are pitching XM Satellite Radio's broadcasts of every baseball game, under the $650 million, 11-year deal that began in the 2005 season. Hall of Fame-bound retired Baltimore Oriole Cal Ripken Jr., Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz and New York Yankees star Derek Jeter lend their voices to customizable messages that fans can send to friends and family via phone call, email or AOL Instant Message.

Called "Call Stars," the program allows fans to address their friends and family by name, and choose their favorite team, profession, preferred vacation spot and other details before sending the message. Ortiz can record messages in English or Spanish. And Ripken even suggests a summer vacation in Cooperstown, where he will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer.
