Yankees To Offer "Indigent Night"

May 6, 2009

Free Bleacher Seat, Soda Voucher

Proof of Income Required

New York – After enduring weeks of massive PR hits for their $2,600 seats, Yankees’ COO Lonn Trost is set to launch the club's latest community-relations initiative, eTrueSports has learned.

"We're calling it Indigent Night," Trost said proudly. "To prove that we are good neighbors, for the May 21st game against the exciting Baltimore Orioles, we are offering a free bleacher seat and a voucher for a soft drink (12 oz.) to every fan who can provide us proof that he or she is living below the poverty line.”

IRS form 1040 and a Medicaid card are both acceptable forms of proof of income status, Trost said.

Asked if he thought this might seem insulting to people struggling to get by in New York City, Trost shook his head.

"Who knows? Tomorrow they could start a sports satire website, and wind up in the Legends seats," the COO said.

It's about time people who devote their lives to living, rather than destroying themselves for a lousy paycheck get rewarded. Kudos Yankees.

The Yankees should be sued for false advertising! The have a icon for a "free 2-Liter soda", but state they're only giving away a 12 oz soda. Someone should whup them upside the head with a meterstick.

In what some are saying could be a poignant end to a once promising second career, eTrueSports has learned that the Alaska Ass Clowns of the fledgling American Caucasian Basketball League have ended negotiations with Sarah Palin to become the team's new mascot Barky. "Our focus group said she'd scare children," explained an Ass Clowns' spokesman.

Sources close to Kobe Bryant have told eTrueSports the athlete/comedian will star in a remake of the 1997 TV movie "Mother Knows Best." Ironically, negotations with his own mother to play herself "have not gone well."

Liberty University has added ESPN basketball analyst Chris Broussard as a commencement speaker, eTrueSports has learned. "The world needs more black bigots," said a spokesman for the evangelical Christian school of higher learning.

Los Angeles Lakers' center Dwight Howard has been rushed to Children's Hospital where he was diagnosed with Early-Onset Megalomania. "This is a real wake-up call," Howard told eTrueSports. "I need to concentrate 100% on myself to get better."

TMZ is reporting that the Grizzlies' Zach Randolph touched the rim at 3:42 of the 3rd quarter in Tuesday's 88-84 victory over the Thunder.

“Karma’s a bitch," said a spokesman for the American Buddhist Society commenting on Tiger Woods' DQ-less loss at The Masters.

The case against the crowd outside Pauley Pavilion who demanded the return of fired basketball coach Ben Howland has been dropped by the LAPD. "Both of them are good kids," spokesman told eTrueSports. "They just made a dumb mistake."

The National Transportation Safety Board investigation into ex-UCLA basketball coach Ben Howland's offense as source of drowsiness blamed for a rash of campus pedestrian collisions has been suspended. "The Westwood nightmare is over," said an NTSB spokesman.

After selling the naming rights to their football building - now Geo Group Stadium - to a private prison company, Florida Atlantic University denied the "The Perps" (formerly "The Owls") would compete in black and white striped uniforms. "That would be tacky," explained FAU President Mary Jane Saunders.
