That’s right Mr. Commish, with great power comes great responsibility. In another of Bud Selig’s fabulous contributions to the game of baseball, we’re about to see the debut of on-field advertising: on June 11-13, the bases and pitching rubber at every game will be adorned with the logo for “Spider-man 2.”
It’s not quite as much as an infringement on the integrity of the game as were the All-Star Game tie and the Nomadic Expos, but it still sucks, and I can only hope baseball will be shamed into abandoning the idea before it even starts. I mean, shouldn’t game-day promotions at baseball games involve, you know, baseball?
Baseball + "Spider-man" - Kirsten Dunst = bad idea.
