Marlins minor league team will break the law on 'Florida Man' tribute night

[Initech]

When your team is named the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, you’re clearly not opposed to pushing the envelope to have a little fun. The latest example is a “Florida Man” promotional night where the Miami Marlins’ Double-A affiliate will “attempt to break a weird Florida law every inning.”

The game on July 26 will be sponsored by a law office and pays homage to all the wacky crimes that emerge from our beloved state.

The Jumbo Shrimp — yes, that’s their real oxymoronic name; they changed it after more than 50 years as the Jacksonville Suns — have not announced which specific laws they will break.

I mean, why tip off the fuzz, right?

This promotion has already gotten the team national attention from the likes of ESPN, Sports Illustrated and CBS.

I couldn't love this more!

1. Running naked through a car wash

while brandishing a screwdriver should somehow be a part of this promotion!

4. If they don't have at least a streaker interrupting the game at some point, they're doing it wrong!

2. I sincerely hope they don't try to break the "no sex with chickens" law.

But it is a great promotional idea.

3. The minor leagues seem to have gone to wacky name hell

Our New Orleans team went from being the Zephyrs to the Babycakes, which was alleged to be the winner of a poll in which the other three possibilities were not that bad. Nowadays even their own ads are just calling them the Cakes. WTF?
