Sioux Falls Canaries News Release


(SIOUX FALLS, SD) – When the Sioux Falls Canaries released their schedule of "out of left field" promotions for the 2003 season, they figured they might raise a few eyebrows and turn a few heads. The latest chuckles come from ESPN's Jayson Stark, a frequent analyst on Baseball Tonight and writer for ESPN.com. Stark applauds the Canaries' August 26th promotion of "Toilet Paper Appreciation Night" at the Birdcage in his weekly online column, "Rumblings and Grumblings.

Stark calls the Birds' promotion, which is sponsored by Roto-Rooter, the "Promotion of the week." The game is scheduled for 7:03 PM when the Canaries take on the visiting Joliet Jackhammers.
