Baseball season must be getting closer because teams are starting to announce their 2006 promotional schedules. The promotional items the LA Dodgers are using to attract fans include a salute to the original Brooklyn Dodgers in the form of a retro promotional clock and a fleece stadium blanket. As someone who’s shivered at fall Mets games, I was wondering why they were doing the fleece blanket giveaway in May. Then I remembered the LA Dodgers play in Los Angeles, so it probably doesn’t matter when they give it out.
