The Cubs also have advertisements painted in the grass between the dugouts and 1st and 3rd baselines. Someone the Sox played earlier this season had a logo on the mound, too. Expand They're all advertisements that could be negatively construed quite easily if the team on the field disappointed? That, I find incredibly difficult to imagine. PERCEPTION IS 90% OF REALITY. Why put yourself in a position to look like a jackass? Remember TWTW, from Harrelson? The souvenirs/t-shirts/merchandising around it? Well, it last about all of 2 or 3 weeks when the team completely fell apart. Edited August 16, 2020 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
