Break Up The IronPigs!

After opening the season 0-11, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs are on a roll! They now have won two straight after scoring a season-high 4 runs (ha!) last night in a 4-1 win over the Toledo Mud Hens.

And, look! History, according to The Morning Call: "The one obvious mistake by Mazone came in the second when Melian hit a two-out home run into the Bud Light Trough over the right-field fence, the first home run at Coca-Cola Park to exit somewhere other than center field." Oooh.

Tonight, the IronPigs go for their third straight win, a franchise record (obviously). And despite the warm temperatures today, it's Eskimo Night at the ballpark, where (really) "[a]ny fan showing a valid I.D. or drivers license from Alaska, Canada or any other province inherit to Eskimos or Inuit’s, will be given free admission to the game. In addition, all fans in attendance will receive free ice when they enter Coca-Cola Park!"

The press release is awful chipper:

"Despite the warm weather, I still guarantee a freezing good time," exclaimed IronPigs General Manager Kurt Landes. "However, don’t be surprised if we have dogsled…or even pigsled races at one point!"

Ha ha, pig sled. I get it! But, anyway: Free ice and a 2-11 baseball team? Eskimo Night is one hot ticket indeed. (See what I did there?)
