The Philliies just became the first professional team (hey, what about the Washington Generals?) to lose 10,000 games. This from Glen Gower great blog:
Will the Phillies celebrate their 10,000th loss?
We’re waiting to see if the Philadelphia Phillies do anything to commemorate their 10,000th franchise loss. Pro sports teams rarely have a sense of humour about this kind of thing. But if they did, here are some suggestions: Play Beck’s “Loser” whenever a player comes up to bat. Rig all the promotions between innings so that there isn’t a winner. Have Al Gore throw the first pitch. Have a “guaranteed loss” night (free ticket if the Phillies lose).
Fun stuff….I love something as simple as the rigged contests. However, as noted, most teams don’t have the sense of self-depreciating humor to take this one on. Anyone who sees or hears what the Phillies do (if anything)…please let us know.
