Bet you didn’t know that the 2009 Best Yin and Yang Espy Award went to minor league baseball's Omaha Royals for their promotion called “Four Weddings and a Funeral.” Four couples were married on the Rosenblatt Stadium field at the conclusion of their July 31 home game, which saw the Royals outlast the Iowa Cubs in a 5-4 thriller.
In addition, one lucky fan won an all-expenses paid funeral (casket included) sponsored by a local mortuary. It is reported that the guy who won the funeral was pretty excited about the whole thing.
Peanuts, Cracker Jack, hot dogs, beer, nuptials and a funeral. Now THAT’s a night at the ballpark!

Fun promotion! But I can't imagine getting married on a ballfield. I wonder if any of them regret it.
You mean like ... three strikes and you're out? LOL.
