With the recent suspension of NBC anchor Brian Williams for “misremembering” certain events, the Akron RubberDucks have announced that their game on Monday, April 27 will be “Brian Williams’ Pants-On-Fire Night.”
The double A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians explained that it is “National Tell A Story Day” and there is no one better to help represent this national holiday more than Brian Williams.
“Brian Williams’ Pants-On-Fire Night” will include the following:
- First 100 fans will receive a pair of suspenders upon entering Canal Park
- On-field contests, including “To Tell the Truth” and “Two Truths & a Brian Williams,” also known as “Two Truths and a Lie”
- In honor of National Tell a Story Day, a fan named Brian Williams will read tall tales
- A between-inning chance for fans to audition to be the next television news anchor on the video board, with the fan-voted winner’s video sent to NBC
- A pair of pants from Brian Williams will be burned in a “pants on fire” ceremony
- Any fan in attendance named Brian Williams will have a chance to throw out a ceremonial first pitch
Minor league baseball at its finest, ladies and germs.
