The Joliet JackHammers, a minor league baseball team, want Blago and they want him bad. They have offered the 52-year-old disgraced former governor of Illinois a rookie contract for the 2009 season.
The official press release says: “In addition to receiving his Northern League salary and a free host family, the JackHammers will offer incentives in his contract unlike any ever offered a rookie player! First, the team would like to have a Blagojevich bobble-hair night, where 1,000 bobble-hairs (the hair instead of the head will bob) will be given away and the Governor will throw out a first pitch. The team also plans on having special “golden” seats available for purchase as well as a few other fun events to fill out the evening.”
So, it’s good to see them mixing personal insults with the professional.
