I don't think it was an official make a wish thing. Reds had just heard he was struggling pretty bad with his health and has a pretty serious surgery scheduled for Thursday. They didn't say anything else besides that.

They said they talked to MLB and it was something like 12-13 total average a game. So they thought 11 for 1 team was a good number to go with.

I heard they love the publicity this is bringing.

Oh...I know, but they'd cut it if it was was killing overall profit.

                                We always end up buying other stuff while there. Drinks and appetizers. I doubt it's hurting them terribly.

They're stuck with it for this year. As someone who works for multiple Larosas we cringe when they get near it with how often it's happening, haha.

                                Didn't they project something like 11-13 times it would happen over the course of the season? They'll hit that by the AS break.

Yeah, something like that. Hell, they may hit it by Memorial Day.
