Anyone catch the Flyers website with the advertisement for "homeless baseball players". I know players are the ponds in the game of baseball but do we need to insult them too?What do you guys think?

I saw that and all I can say "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING"

It is an insult to the players. It's an insult to the homeless! Whom ever thought this up should be fired! and the team should retract the email and issue an apology. They should also donate to a homeless shelter. There is nothing funny about being homeless, truely, this is poor taste

Incase you missed it....

HOST FAMILIES: THE ANSWER TO BASEBALL PLAYER HOMELESSNESS
Make a difference in a baseball player's life today

Take a look at this face.

His is just one of many Schaumburg Flyers who desperately need your help this 2008 season. This baseball player, like so many others, is in need of a caring and generous host family to give him a place to live. For the simple cost of a load of laundry and maybe even a bowl of Wheaties in the morning, you too can make a difference in the life of a professional baseball player.

Once you decide to be a host family, you will receive 4 season tickets to the Schaumburg Flyers. You'll also receive a picture of your baseball player to hang on your refrigerator as well as a progress report to keep track of your player's height, weight and OBP.

Please, don't wait. Help a baseball player today.
