kids these days

IIRC, used to be they’d have a day where fans could go on the field with signs/banners that said stuff about the team before the game. Guess it has made it’s triumphant return

Hey, wait! I'm having one of those things. You know? A headache with pictures?

You should have responded

“how did you get this email address?”

Anyone want to bet on how many games under .500 they’ll be by banner day?

Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday
No. 4 and No. 5 (?) TBD

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
