Selling Baseball Another Way

The Brevard County Manatees of The Florida State League has a brand new method of selling its newsletter during the off-season.

They have a treasure hunt with clues mentioned in the newsletter. A local family indured freezing temperatures and found the hidden treasure after dark.

Buck Rodgers GM has had other ideas several years ago at Daytona. He gave 17 fans lifetime passes for getting tattoos of the Daytona team name.

Many, many public relations ideas are surfacing to sell baseball but are they really selling baseball?

How am I to question the success of Minor League Baseball, as many will tell you that times have changed?

Yes, and Minor League Baseball has completely changed from the way I saw it years ago.

What To Write About For March? | Seasons, Stories & Sundays
Like past March articles, we could write about St. Patrick who is synonymous with March. Or, since the entire month is dedicated to celebrating the contributions of women in society, we could devote this entire column to Women’s History. But the month references several other notable people as well. In fact, the Catholic Church dedicates the ...
‘The Bride!’ Reanimates An Old Tale | At The Movies With Kasey
I almost went to the theaters to see Scream 7. I love the franchise, but I also feel so tired of reboots and endless sequels. Instead, I checked out The Bride!, which may be a new spin on an old story, but takes more creative risks than most movies I have seen recently. In The Bride!, ...
‘Dead of Winter’ & ‘Blue Moon’ Offer Compelling Character Studies | At The Movies With Kasey
As cold as this winter has been for much of the country, watching a film called Dead of Winter might not be on the top of your agenda. But the film, which landed on HBO recently, offers decent suspense and a solid performance from Emma Thompson. Just put on some thick socks before you press ...

February is notable for various cultural celebrations and historical observances.

The local Catholic community began in 1937 when Bishop John F. Noll purchased a wooded plot of ground in the ...
I Give Amanda Seyfried Best Actress For The ‘Testament of Ann Lee’: At The Movies With Kasey
