What you see pictured on the right is the newest promotional giveaway dreamed up the St. Paul Saints, an independent minor league baseball team in Minnesota. The boat is only 3 x 5 inches, so there aren’t a lot of details to be seen, but if you peer into one of the purple windows, I think you can make out some love stains left by Moe Williams.
The same team also gave away Randy Moss hood ornaments shortly after Randy saw fit to ram his car into a traffic cop. Somehow, I hadn’t heard about that one… which is a shame, because I would damn well be proud to display a Randy Moss hood ornament on my ride.
The Saints are also calling the owners of Al & Alma’s and asking them if they’d like to throw out the first pitch. I’m sure that being around more professional athletes is just what they want to do with their time… the poor people are probably still traumatized.
May 27th is the giveaway day, if you’re in the area.

bill Veeck (sent a midget to the plate once) runs the Saints. He’s always coming up with funny sh&t like this. Darryl Strawberry played for the Saint during one of his comebacks also.
Anything with a vote and Vikings colors is mildly amusing at the very least. Now if the franchise would figuratively speak, that would be EXcellent!

Wouldn’t Fred Smoot’s boat be double-hulled?

Cheesehead, Bill Veeck has been dead for just over 20 years.

Veeck’s kid runs the Saints. Like father, like son. Isn’t Bill Murray also an investor?

Minor League baseball is awesome, epsecially if someone named Veeck is somehow involved.
