Barefoot & Pregnant Night at the Ballpark

The Brooklyn Cyclones have set the bar for best backhanded promotion night….Bellies & Baseball: A Salute to Pregnancy.

In what might be either the most demening or cool night in sports, the Brooklyn Cyclones are looking to bring prego girls into the ballpark.

Highlights of the night:
“Activities and entertainment at the July 19th game against Auburn will include:

Barefoot & Pregnant: Expectant moms can run (or, more likely, walk) the bases with no shoes on before the game

Craving Station: A table on the Concourse level will offer pickles, ice cream, anchovy pizza, etc. for pregnant women who crave more than the usual ballpark fare

Water Break: Two expectant fathers will try to complete a race with water balloons attached to their bodies. The winner is the one who lasts the longest or finishes the race without his water breaking

7th Inning Stretch Marks: Pregnant women will be allowed onto the field in the 7th inning to sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Lamaze on the Lawn: The Cyclones will offer a Pre-game Lamaze class on the grass in centerfield

Special Delivery: Any woman who gives birth at the ballpark before the end of the game gets free Cyclones Season Tickets for life for each member of her new family

Naming Rights: Any expectant mother who agrees to name her child “Brooklyn” or “Cy” gets free Season Tickets for life

Pregnancy Pitch: Any woman in her third trimester gets to throw out a ceremonial first pitch before the game

Trimester Tricycles: Bike race between expectant fathers between innings”

Seriously….7th Inning Stretch Marks!?!??!

I am 100% for this. I can’t think of a better idea than telling a pregnant chick, “Honey, its 7th Inning Stretch Marks night at the Cyclones game tonight. Grab your bikini top and lets go!”

Points should be awarded for the Cyclones combining pregnancy and baseball, but with no paternaty lawsuits.

No word on whether Dustin Pedroia’s wife Kelli will be in attendance (Dustin skipped the ‘09 All Star game to be with his prego wife).
