PROMOTIONS.

 

One view of this week's hooliganism at U.S. Cellular Field is that it's bad for the team's image. The Tempo Marketing Subcommittee looks at it another way: An opportunity for the White Sox to retool this season's promotions so that they appeal to the true nature of their fans.

 

- Thugs Run the Bases. Just like they do with the senior citizens before the game, except this would take place during the game, maybe with one out and two on in the top of the sixth.

 

- Half-Wit Wednesdays. Those who act like they have IQs of less than 50 get in for half price.

 

- Alsip Night. A shirtless William Ligue Jr. throws out the first pitch -- then is cuffed and led off the field as the fans roar.

 

- Fujifilm Mug Shot Day. Get in a scuffle with security and get a free portrait.

 

- Idiot Bobblehead Giveaway. Authentic novelty item featuring The Guy Who Attacked The Umpire Tuesday Night (First 5,000 kids).

 

- Dog Day/Rowdy Night. Let the rowdies run onto the field, then have fans turn their dogs loose to chase them down.

 

- Turn Back the Clock to Al Capone's Chicago Week. Players would wear Borsalinos, black jerseys, white ties and fake scars.

 

- Sox Players Bet Against Themselves Friday. A nod to the glory days of 1919.

 

- Handcuff Night. First 5,000 adults to run onto the field during the game get a commemorative bracelet.

 

- Smirnoff Ice Half-Price Tuesday. Fans who bring a drained six- pack get in cheap and get to sit next to the visitors' dugout.

 

- Royals Appreciation Day. Kansas City players and coaches charge the stands.

 

- Hooligan Demolition Night. To chants of "Hooligans suck," Steve Dahl sets off a fireworks display that shoots rowdies high above the White Sox's exploding scoreboard.
