Want to buy a championship baseball team?

The beauty of independent baseball is anything goes.

Stage a cow-milking contest. Host Double Chin Night presented by a local laser center (“One lucky fan will walk away with one less chin”). Bring in Jerry Mathers (as the Beaver) and Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. Play the first pro game with a computerized strike zone. Distribute foam fingers on Prostate Cancer Awareness Night to encourage checkups. Outfit players in A League of Their Own pink dresses to promote breast cancer awareness.

Promotions can range from goodhearted to downright wacky, often a little of both.
