Fart me out to the ball game, ballpark offers fart dampers
It’s official, the minor league baseball world has gone crazy like a stinky fox.
Earlier this month, The West Michigan Whitecaps, the Dayton Dragons’ opponent in the 14-team Midwest League, introduced a gut-busting, 4,800 calorie hamburger named the Fifth Third Burger (That team’s park is also called Fifth Third Field).

Now there is word of a smell damping stunt sure to make people toot… um sorry, I meant root.
The Lake Elsinore Storm announced Monday, March 16, that it would pass out samples of Subtle Butt, Garment Guard’s flatulence filters, to the first 250 fans to attend games “Fat Tuesdays.”
It seems that Fat Tuesday has more to do with being fat than it does Mardi Gras.
Those games feature “all-u-can eat belly buster food specials.”
“You can probably deduce that All-You-Can-Eat ballpark food might lead to substantial gas subtle emissions, which is where corporate sponsor, Subtle Butt, enters the picture,” a portion of a press release posted on Ben’s Biz Blog on MLB.com says.
See Minor League blog entry here.
The disposable gas eliminators are placed in the underwear and held in place with two self-adhesive strips.
The Storm is apart of the Class A California League and is affiliated with the San Diego Padres.
Maybe fans will sing “fart me out to the ball game, fart me out with the farts.”
What do you think?

These Subtle Butt fart filters sound like a SHART catcher, You know, in case you let a little SH IT when you F ART(a SHART)! If the Dragons introduce this publicity stunt, I will never see them play again. Who wants to sit next to a big fat sweaty person who just sh it his pants because he felt it was OK because he was wearing a Kotex that caught the debris from his a*s when he winded? HEY MINOR LEAGUE PARKS: You’re playing the butthole card too early!By flyers
