St. Louis - Daily RFT - Cardinals to Particpate in Strange Pitch to Save Earth ... For an Hour
Yesterday I received a curious e-mail about a press conference at Busch Stadium scheduled for 2 p.m. this afternoon. The event sounded so preposterous that I immediately responded to the sender with the query: "Is this for real?"
No, no! Came the reply from St. Louis marketing firm Geile/Leon. The event is very real and the folks at Geile/Leon are very excited about it. (Of course, marketing firms are paid to be very excited about many things.)
...
...this year the Cardinals will switch off the lights at Busch Stadium from 8:30 to 9:30 on March 28.
How this will make any difference in the global-warming debate is beyond me, seeing how Busch Stadium has no events scheduled for March 28. A truer commitment to global warming would be if the Cardinals switched off the lights during an actual game. Now that would immediately "raise the awareness" of about 40,000 people left seated in the dark.
