Vikings Love Boat Collectible
Independent minor league baseball team the Saint Paul Saints are honoring the Vikings party cruise ships with a fantastic promotional giveaway next month ...
"May 27 Love Boat Anniversary Party. This celebration of the 30th anniversary of the TV show includes a giveaway to the first 2,500 fans. The unique color scheme of the “Minnetonka Queen” may remind fans of another well-known Twin Cities area vessel that has been in the news."
Fantastic. Please, if you're in the area, grab me one of these bad boys. I'll be your best friend. And kudos to the Saints and their owner Mike Veeck for giving a reason for fans to come out to the yard. Here are some other choice giveaways from their promotional calendar ...
"June 27 Bill Murray Bobblehead Night. The Saints’ co-owner finally makes the big time … he gets his own bobblehead as a giveaway item.
July 22 Smallball Night. A tribute to Eddie Gaedel, the smallest man ever to play professional baseball is mixed in with the team’s annual Card giveaway.
July 29 Salute To The ‘Stache Night. Rollie Fingers had a good cookie duster but it was nothing compared to some world champs who will be on hand.
August 24 VHS Demolition Night. The natural followup to Disco Demolition Night."
Carl Spackler bobblehead? Tributes to a midget and great 'staches? VHS demolition? On top of the Vikings sex boat? Inspired marketing effort, my friends.
Many thanks to The Mighty MJD for posting this here.
