Give a Pound of Flesh?

I love minor league baseball promotions.

The Mahoning Valley Scrappers (Cleveland Indians Class-A farm team in Niles, Ohio) gave away a free flesh removal (liposection, that is) by the night’s sponsor – Valley Surgical Arts.

They originally wanted to give away a free breast augmentation, according to the team’s general manager, Dave Smith. But that idea was tossed because they felt it was “pushing the line on family entertainment."

So they gave away the flesh removal; five female finalists were “reduced” to one lucky winner.

Here’s the ironic part – they gave it away on “All You Can Eat Wednesday.”
