Subject: Brewer Game idea

Dear Milwaukee Brewers,

I have a great idea for a Brewer game promotion - Iguana Night! You could hand out pet iguanas at the gates. Kids love iguanas! Iguanas love kids! Iguanas love baseball! I know, because my iguana, Leo Durocher, watches baseball with me. Whenever there's a home run, he bobs his head up and down. I think his favorite part is the seventh inning stretch, because that's when he sneaks a taste of my beer when I stand up to stretch. I pretend not to notice. He likes the Chicago Cubs the best, which I think explains his drinking.

You could also allow people to bring their own iguanas. Think of the fun and cameraderie! Baseball, baseball fans, and happy iguanas! I look forward to attending Miller Park's very first Iguana Night. I'll bring Leo!

Looking forward to 2005,
Stewart T. Gorman, Jr.

These people actually replied!

Mr. Gorman,

Thank you for your interest in the Milwaukee Brewers and our in-park entertainment.

While I am sure that your idea of an Iguana giveway is very entertaining, the Wisconsin Health Department does not allow animals in areas near food preparation. Alas, the Brewers are unable to be groundbreaking in the Iguana Promotion industry.

Thank you again for your interest in the Milwaukee Brewers.

GO BREWERS!
