Minor league baseball teams are always looking for new ways to bring people to the ballpark. Gods knows, it can't be the thrilling spectacle of minor league baseball. But now they're brining in the heavy hitters (so to speak). Friday's USA Today had a cover story about the growth of Faith Nights in baseball, in which the game itself is supplemented with Christian music, testifying (sometimes from players), and Biblical-themed bobblehead dolls. Sorry, no Jesus bobbleheads yet (or even a Buddy Christ). It's working, bringing people to the parks in droves, apparently the kind of people who share this sentiment:
'Baseball, faith and Americana, it's a perfect fit,' says C.J. Johnson, director of marketing for the Suns.Another reason I'm a soccer fan.
