Here’s a promotion that may be microtargeting baseball journalist Ben Hill.
Hill the well-know MILB writer with a penchant for word play is a noted enthusiast of the word penultimate.
pe·nul·ti·mate
/pəˈnəltəmət/
adjective
last but one in a series of things; second last.“the penultimate chapter of the book”
The Renegades have flawlessly courted the favor of Ben Hill while cleverly creating a fun giveaway for this second to the last game with their Penultimate Game Ultimate Pen Giveaway Night. Plus everyone feels smarter for being able to use a fancy work like penultimate moving forward.

Sadly Ben was not able to attend. We will be sure to inquire about this “long story” on a future (perhaps extended version) of the Party in the Back Podcast.
I was planning on attending, and then I didn't. Long story.
