Miracle Helping Batboy "MOOOOVE" Forward

 

Team Offers Him Honorary Batboy Duties Following Suspension

 

FORT MYERS, FL (August 25, 2005) ? Miracle Baseball understands how tough it can be for people to be out of work. That is why the Miracle are extending an invitation to the suspended Marlins batboy, offering him a position at Monday night?s game at Hammond Stadium, to keep his skills sharp during his time away from the Majors.

 

The Miracle, Class-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins in the Florida State League, will send a limo to Miami to pick up the youngster and his family and drive them to Hammond Stadium for the Monday night, August 29 game between the Tampa Yankees vs. Fort Myers Miracle. Not wanting the batboy's skills to ?spoil,? the Miracle will offer him an honorary batboy position during the game.

 

All kids 14 and under will receive a pint of milk upon entering the stadium. The Miracle will also have a cow at the front gates and literature will be passed out on the importance of drinking milk

 

"Similar to a rehab stint, we want to help this kid stay on top of his game,? Miracle GM Steve Gliner ?uddered?. Instead of crying over spilt milk, we decided to offer him the honorary post.?

 

Not wanting the suspended bat boy to be penniless, empty milk cartons will be placed around the ballpark, so fans can aide the out of work bat boy during his time away.

 

Miracle Baseball, owned by the Goldklang group, Marv Goldklang, Mike Veeck, Bill Murray and Jimmy Buffet are in their 14th season in the FSL. Monday night?s game begins at 7:05 p.m. with gates opening at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are $6 for box and $4 for general reserve. Fans can purchase tickets by calling 239-768-4210 or going on line at www.miraclebaseball.com. Miracle Baseball, where FUN IS GOOD!

Got milk? An unidentified Florida Marlins batboy does.

 

After the batboy was suspended six games for accepting a dare from Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny, a former Marlin, to drink a gallon of milk in less than an hour without vomiting, the Milk Processor Education Program wants to compensate him. The group is offering the batboy $500, the original prize of the dare, along with any lost wages from the suspension as long as he promises to drink the recommended three glasses of milk a day (just not all in one sitting).

 

In addition, the Fort Myers Miracle, the Minnesota Twins' Single-A affiliate in the Florida State League, have offered him an honorary batboy position during their game Monday night against the Tampa Yankees.

 

"Similar to a rehab stint, we want to help this kid stay on top of his game," Miracle GM Steve Gliner said. "Instead of crying over spilt milk, we decided to offer him the honorary post."

 

All kids 14 and under will receive a pint of milk upon entering the stadium. The Miracle will also have a cow at the front gates and literature will be passed out on the importance of drinking milk. Empty milk cartons will be placed around the ballpark, so fans can donate money to the out-of-work batboy.

 

The offers come in the wake of a Miami Herald report Wednesday that the Marlins suspended the unidentified batboy for the team's upcoming six-game homestand against the Cardinals and Mets from Aug. 28 through Sept. 4 for accepting the dare Sunday.

 

Penny told the paper the boy drank the milk and didn't throw up, but didn't finish the gallon in the allotted time frame to win the dare.

 

"It's kind of ridiculous that you get a 10-game suspension for steroids and a six-game suspension for milk," Penny told the Herald.

 

"It's ridiculous that they worry about stuff like that. It shows they [the Marlins organization] don't know anything about the game. That kind of stuff goes on everywhere. It didn't affect the way he worked, the way he did his job," he said.

Typical move by the Veeck as in Wreck family.

I think I want to try this milk thing.

Not batboy..... batman :lol

Frickin' child molesters.

So a 10 year old gets a six game suspension for accepting a bribe from an idol? A man who knows better?

 

What were the consequences for Brad Penny?

I want to know which batboy it was, because there is that one man child batboy who looks like he's 34 years old, 6'1", 285 pounds.

update to the story based on Joe Rose (790 the tocket) investigation:

 

- the supposed bat boy child is 19 years old

- the Dodger's pool was in excess of 1 grand (not only Penny)

- the bat boy has been invited to leno and letterman but he has declined, rumor is that the FO will fire him (and apparently other members of his family work for the marlins)

- the bat boy got offers to make a milk tv add, he declined (see above)

 

I'm just the messenger, that's what I heard this morning on 790. take it for what is worth
