Trenton Minor League Baseball Team Feels the Sonics' Pain

Bizarre promotions are de rigueur for minor league baseball. But this one really sticks out (thanks, Hank). Per a Trenton Thunder press release: "The Trenton Thunder are now offering a complimentary ticket to any Seattle Supersonic fan. To receive a free ticket, fans must stop by the box office at Waterfront Park and be wearing their Seattle Supersonic hat, jersey, t-shirt or other merchandise. Each Seattle fan will receive one free ticket based on availability. 'We just want to help ease the pain for Sonics fans worldwide and offer them a night of fun with the Thunder here in Trenton,' said Thunder General Manager Brad Taylor. 'We can't blame Oklahoma City for choosing the best nickname in all of sports and certainly wish them well.'"
