From the "It Was Only A Matter of Time" Department...

It might not have anything to do with baseball, but the drama, uncertainty, and general chaos surrounding Brett Favre's recent decision to "unretire" is too hilarious a situation to ignore. So, in the grand tradition of last season's Billy Donovan promotion in Fort Myers, the Augusta GreenJackets have announced that August 4 will be "Brett Favre Night" at Lake Olmstead Stadium.

In cases like these, I find it most expedient to quote copiously from the press release. Here's what's in store for the evening:

The GreenJackets plan on retiring the number four jersey on August 4, only to reinstate it the next day on August 5.  The team also will hand out a pair of flip flops to the first 100 fans through the gates on August 4 to honor one of the greatest flip-floppers of all time.

Other events planed for the night include seat up grades to box seating for anyone wearing a Favre jersey, Green Bay or Atlanta.  Fans wearing a "cheese head" will also receive a free brat at the concession stand. 

 

We are also allowing any fan that purchases a ticket between now and August 3 the

opportunity to reuse that ticket for the Augusta 4 game because just because your game is over, does not mean your game is over," Brown said. 

 

Food specials will include brats and Pabst beer, and there will be on field contests that include the "Lambeau Leap" and the "Strahan Sack.
