A PLACE WHERE MATHLETES CAN FEEL SAFE: DJ Gallo presents the best and worst of 2009's MLB promotional giveaways. My fellow Amherst graduates should avoid Cleveland on September 12, because this time it's the Indians who are giving out the blankets.
Re "Kids Pirates Pillow Night," Gallo notes: "This one is only available to those 14 and under. So everyone who gets this item will not have been alive the last time the Pirates had a winning season. And they very well might be asked by their father to hold the pillow over his face until he is sent to a place where the Pirates don't suck." (HT: Clutch Hits.)
