Hot Stove in the Summertime

Major League Baseball has no shortage of sponsors for various things that happen during the game. There's a Roland's Relief Award now. Players even wear advertising on their uniforms now.  But there's room for more sponsorships. Here are some thoughts:

  • A sacrifice bunt sponsored by Nothing Bundt Cakes - How has this not happened?
  • The Wendy's Single - coupon redeemable on Single's night at Wendy's. This could go a number of directions. 
  • A mound visit brought to you by Mounds, the delicious dark chocolate coconut candy bar."  Mounds can use the help. Do people even like dark chocolate?  We had a bag of dark chocolate covered cherries at work and it sat there for months. 
  • Gatorade needs to sponsor the Gatorade dump on the unsuspecting game hero getting interviewed after the game. Actually, I'd like to see this done occasionally during the game. C'mon. Looosen up, guys. 
  • Since Denny's has the grand slam breakfast, they could sponsor each grand slam home run. Get 10% off your next grand slam at Denny's. 
Granted, there aren't many grand slams, but people don't go to Denny's very often.
