Doughnuts are back at the Marlins
Sweet chants of “dough-nuts, dough-nuts” could be ringing through Dolphin Stadium again soon, now that the Marlins have signed a promotional deal with Dunkin’ Donuts.
Any time the team scores at least six runs at home this season, fans can cash in their ticket stubs within 24 hours for a free breakfast item and a medium coffee at any Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade or Treasure Coast Dunkin’ Donuts location. Breakfast items are: two donuts, one muffin, a bagel with cream cheese or a breakfast sandwich.
The Marlins scored six runs or more 21 times last season. They fell short Friday in their home opener, which they lost to the Phillies 8-2, but if the first three games of the season had been played at home, rather than in Washington, fans would have been cashing in.
In the 2004 season, fans were treated to a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts if the team got at least a dozen hits at home. The promotion was so popular that fans began yelling “dough-nuts, dough-nuts" when the number of hits approached 12.
With the new promotion, fans could be yelling “do-nuts, do-nuts” or perhaps it’ll be “break-fast, break-fast.”
“I think they’re going to call doughnuts, although it’s really a call for breakfast,” Marlins President David Samson said. “There will be an outcry for doughnuts again and it’s always fun.”

I smell a new conspiracy theory in the guise of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers."
Perhaps
"Attack of the Carbos Gainers?"
The Easter Bunny better arrive soon, I am getting cranky without my Lenten donuts.
