Baseball's reply

Here is the entirety of the e-mail I received from Major League Baseball in reply to my telling them that they were a bunch of greedy whores:

Dear Major League Baseball Fan:

Thank you for your letter regarding Major League Baseball's marketing
partnership with Columbia Pictures.

Major League Baseball Properties has teamed with Columbia Pictures and
Marvel Studios for an unprecedented marketing partnership to support the
highly anticipated national release of Spider-Man® 2, it was jointly
announced by Geoffrey Ammer, president of worldwide marketing for the
Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group and Tim Brosnan, EVP Business, Major
League Baseball.
The focus of the marketing partnership will be a weekend of
Spider-Man® 2 events coordinated with Major League Baseball Properties and
the 15 MLB Clubs hosting home games June 11-13.
During Spider-Man® 2 Weekend, which has been scheduled during a
segment of the 2004 Major League Baseball Interleague Play schedule,
ballparks will feature in-park and on-field Spider-Man® signage and each
Club will feature special Spider-Man® promotional events, including
giveaways with the world-renowned web crawler. In addition, highlights from
Spider-Man® 2 will run on stadium video boards to promote the motion
picture's June 30 release. Major League Baseball Properties and the 15
participating Clubs will promote Spider-Man® 2 Weekend locally in each
market and nationally.
"This is the perfect alliance between two quintessential national
pastimes -- baseball and movie going," said Ammer. "This partnership
celebrates superheroes, whether they are on the field or on the big screen
and we are extremely excited about the opportunity to create this unique
promotion with Major League Baseball."
"Spider-Man® 2 Weekend is a part of our continuing marketing efforts
to appeal to younger fans in new and non-traditional ways," added Brosnan.
"We anticipate that Spider-Man® 2 will break records at our ballparks and in
the theaters."
Major League Baseball Clubs hosting Spider-Man® 2 Weekend are the
Anaheim Angels, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox,
Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers,
Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners,
Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Texas Rangers, and Toronto Blue Jays.

Thank you for your interest in Major League Baseball.
Sincerely,
MM, MLB.com

They are pretending that this is a way to get kids more excited about baseball. Does anyone believe that?
They also "anticipate that Spider-Man® 2 will break records at our ballparks and in the theaters." Well, I don't. In fact, I expect a boycott of both baseball and the movie until they decide that this thing is moronic and kill the plan. Be sure to e-mail them and tell them they're idiots.
