Vinny Cerrato, the Bowie Baysox and a dunk tank - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/vinny-cerrato-the-bowie-baysox-and-a-dunk-tank/2012/04/13/gIQAz8R4ET_blog.html)

There is such a long, proud and innovative tradition of minor-league baseball teams coming up with amazingly creative promotions that I probably shouldn’t be surprised by anything any more. Still, this one got me.

On Aug. 5, the Bowie Baysox are having their annual Football Kickoff Party. This year’s main attraction will be a dunk booth. Featuring Vinny Cerrato.

“We anticipate there’ll be a lot of Redskins fans out here to watch that or participate in that,” assistant GM Phil Wrye told me.

I agree.


All you local guys out there. I'll send you some cash if you drop this idiot in a bucket of water.

Someone throw the ball at his face

That minor league team will have more money than most pro teams after that.

I hope someone catches video of it.

You've got to be kidding. Too good to be true.

I'm tempted to drive the 4-5 hours round trip to do this. It's the opportunity of a lifetime.
