Giancarlo Stanton hit 61 home runs last night, and that caused a problem for the Marlins:
Earlier in the day, the Marlins sent an email to their fans advertising that “when Giancarlo homers, you score!”
The offer said that “each time G launches a home run out of Petco Park, we’ll knock a percentage point off future Marlins tickets.”
Unfortunately, the discounts are capped by the web site at 25%.
When reached Monday night, team president David Samson said that, although the terms were not specified in the initial email to fans, Major League Baseball Advanced Media, which runs team websites, sets a maximum on these type of offers at 25 percent.
“What Giancarlo did was so cool that we are working on an additional offer,” Samson said. “We’re thinking about picking a game and offering 61 percent off.”
Stanton’s feat Monday night was reminiscent of Mark McGwire‘s performance at the Fenway home run derby. That alone should bring out more fans:
Too bad Zack Greinke left the Dodgers. You could redo this commercial with Stanton, Greinke, and Clayton Kershaw.
