Spike shares his inspired genius in the comments about ideas for All-Star game publicity stunts. My favorites are #1 ("Sinking of a symbolic pirate ship in the Allegheny with giant paper mache heads of Littlefield, Nutting and Tracy on board.") and #7 ("Flyer brigade hands out copies of Jim Leyland's resume to everyone entering the PNC Park area.").
IrateFans plans to make a showing on Monday, July 10th from 6 to 10 a.m. at Pittsburgh’s SoHo restaurant on Federal Street across the street from PNC Park, where ESPN will be broadcasting live. What if an angry mob showed up, wielding protest signs of Bob Nutting, Jr.'s ugly mug with devil horns? What if Bob's daughters later witnessed the protest on the news and demanded "Daddy, why do these people hate you?"
Back to Spike's ideas, a few hundred Pirates fans in attendance at the All-Star game with IrateFans or "Anything is better than Nutting" shirts would likely not attract a huge amount of attention from Fox and the national media. But a (burning) symbolic pirate ship with giant paper mache heads of DL, Ogden, Bob Jr., and Jim sinking in the Allegheny during the 7th inning stretch? Now that would turn some heads!
