Antonio Osuna Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Ed Farmer said on the radio that on Mullet Night there will be a "Mullet March" around the warning track for those who have a mullet. Now, I don't currently have a mullet, but I have long hair that can easily be trimmed in the front to create a mullet and I am more than willing to do so if it means I get to walk around the warning track. Does anyone have info on what I have to do to get into the Mullet March? Do I just show up to Gate 1 before the game with my mullet on, or do I have to do something special?

PREGAME: Shake your mullet to the beat of the band Identity Crisis. Let your mullet loose as you jam with the band Backstage Pass. Don't have a mullet? Have a stylist at one of four Great Clips haircut stations located throughout the ballpark trim one up for you. Donations will be accepted to benefit the Ronald McDonald House and Chicago White Sox Charities. MULLET MARCH Then, march your mullet over to Gate 1, where mulleted men and women will parade their classic cuts around the warning track. Wigged mullets will be accepted. The first 500 mullet marchers will get a free White Sox Mullet Night T-shirt. Edited August 24, 2005 by maggliopipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Osuna Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 do they really want to embrace the white sox/white trash stigma like this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If it means I get to walk around the warning track prior to the game? Absolutely. And several friends of mine feel the same way. Moreover, the mullet is not necessarily a white trash haircut. In Canada, it is the traditional haircut for hockey players, and James K. Polk, our 11th President, had a mullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Yeah when I first heard about mullet night I thought it was some joke some Cub fan made up or something. I'm honestly surprised I haven't heard a lot of crap from Cub fans about this promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) It's a ridiculous promotion because it only reinforces our stereotype as a ballclub which draws greasy haired mullet wearing trashballs. You know the day following this promotion there is going to be a blown up picture in the Tribune of some overweight guy chugging beer and making a complete ass of himself. This will be followed by a William Ligue and Eric Dybas update. I'm guessing Boyer is attempting to poke fun at this image, but I'm dreading the moment this promotion reaches the national level.

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Agreed, Boyer is cool with emailing the fans and fulfilling requests for them and everything, but this promotion and many of the commercials have been horrible QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 07:03 PM) They better not say anything when everyday is GAY day at Wrigley Actually they did have a gay pride day, i think last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyho7476 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 What a horrible promotion. I thought it was a joke. Then when I heard that Great Clips would give mullets out for free, I almost fell out of my chair. Definately stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Y'all think this is worse than Elvis Night? Don't kid yourself, if it put asses in the seats Veeck would have in a heartbeat. In fact, I could see him sporting a fake mullet. Tacky ballpark promotions are a staple of baseball. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we'd all be in trouble. Let me break out in song . . . I took off for a weekend last month Just to try and recall the whole year All of the faces and all of the places Wonderin’ where they all disappeared I didn’t ponder the question too long I was hungry and went out for a bite Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum And we wound up drinkin all night Chorus: It’s these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of our running and all of our cunning If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane Reading departure signs in some big airport Reminds me of the places I’ve been Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure Makes me want to go back again If it suddenly ended tomorrow I could somehow adjust to the fall Good times and riches and son of a b****es I’ve seen more than I can recall Chorus: These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same Through all of the islands and all of the highlands If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane I think about paris when I’m high on red wine I wish I could jump on a plane So many nights I just dream of the ocean God I wish I was sailin’ again Oh, yesterday’s over my shoulder So I can’t look back for too long There’s just too much to see waiting in front of me And I know that I just can’t go wrong Chorus: With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of my running and all of my cunning If I couldn’t laugh I just would go insane If we couldn’t laugh we just would go insane If we weren’t all crazy we would go insane Damn, I just realized the beach season is over in another month or two. I need to head west and sit on the beach with some BB&B* and contemplate the meaning of life. *Beer, Bikinis, and Buffet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I know the guy that put this promotion into their heads same guy that proposed half way to St. Pat's night. There is a stereotypical promo for the south side if there ever was one His idea was to have Ligue bottlehead night and mullet night. I think it is funny, cub fans by the way would eat this promo up, see 70's night. This is baseball not polo enjoy it, geez the way you guys are acting you would think it was pedofile night where everyone dressed as a clown gets in for free.
