6:00 PM -- Those minor league madcaps up north are at it again. Minneapolis-St.Paul's StarTribune.com reports:

  • The St. Paul Saints, long known for offbeat, sometimes edgy, promotions, have come up with a real doozy for this Sunday's game. While lots of sports franchises hand out bobblehead dolls, usually depicting their players, the Saints are handing out 2,500 "bobblefoot" knicknacks.

    The keepsakes consist of a miniature bathroom stall with a couple of lower legs and feet. One of the feet is springloaded and "taps," which, the Saints' press release says, is in honor of National Tap Dance Day.

    Right.

    The team also takes pains to note: "It doesn't matter if your tapping style is done with a 'wide stance' or is used as some sort of code."

This is the same team that, back in '03, had a Saint Paul bobblehead giveaway. That's the Original Saint Paul. This guy.

And who could forget the groundbreaking baseball promotion that took place around this time last year in the slightly cheesier state right next door?
