Minor League team holding Eliot Spitzer Night
Start spreading the news… The minor league Macon Music of the South Coast League has scheduled an “Eliot Spitzer Night” on June 13 complete with invitation to the disgraced former New York governor to throw out the first pitch.
In true minor league fashion, the promotion has a number of elements that play on the story of Spitzer, who resigned his post Wednesday after being linked to a high-priced prostitution ring.
The team plans a New York vacation giveaway; a Music prize package for Client – or fan – No. 9; and a gift certificate to the team store for fan No. 871, a reference to Spitzer’s room number at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. Fans named Eliot, Spitzer or “Kristen” get $1 off admission, as does anyone who has resigned his position.
Frank Sinatra’s music will be played throughout the evening at Luther Williams Field in Macon, Ga. And the ballpark’s ATMs will not dispense more than $5,000 an hour.

I think it's pretty darn funny...if I were him, I'd show up and throw out the first pitch!

Sounds needlessly cruel and cynical, and not particularly creative. Even if you agree that he deserves to be kicked while he's down, does his wife and three daughters merit the ridicule?
