Chicago White Sox use Blowup Doll Slump Buster
Major League Baseball is looking into the inventive and possibly insensitive way the Chicago White Sox decided to use a blowup doll as a slump buster. According to reports, the team’s locker room had two blowup dolls that were decorated with signs.
One sign reportedly said Let’s Go White Sox, while the other sign said You’ve Got To Push. Baseball bats were strategically placed around the dolls, most likely for comedic purposes.
The White Sox, who were mired in a six-game losing streak when the inflatable blowup dolls were placed in the locker room, have apologized for the incident. Manager Ozzie Guillen didn’t apologize, however he did say that no harm or disrespect was intended.
While no player has yet to step forward and claim responsibility for the prank, most local media members presume that Nick Swisher was the mastermind behind the blowup doll slump busters.
Oh and the White Sox won their next game to end their six-game slump. If they win many more games, we might see blowup dolls in locker rooms across the major leagues.
The above blowup doll had no comment and was not amused by this story.
