True baseball fans might "get" this...

So this came from a conversation I had with a friend of mine on the fbook:

I suggested:
I was thinking about organizing a Hall-of-Shame Legends Game. We'll play it on the Field of Dreams in Iowa- Fox and vh1 are fighting for the tv rights. I've been in talks with Pete Rose, Darryl Strawberry, Jose Canseco, Sammy Sosa (what happened to my fun-loving, chemically/hormonally enhanced, corked-stick wielding, Dominican Teddy Bear?), Rafael Palmero, McGwire, Doc Gooden, and Roger Clemons, among others. Bud Selig wants to dh for your team- he admits he doesn't always have a good eye for disobedient, rule-breaking, wayward pitches, but he knows a money pitch when he sees one. Darryl and Doc share a toothless girlfriend who offered to bring Capri Sun and crack brownies. Pete Rose and Jose Canseco are in charge of fund-raising for the event. Miguel Tejada and David Ortiz have purchased 1000 outfield seats for 2500 underprivileged "11 year old" Latin "boys." They said not to raz the kids about their deep voices, facial hair, and muscle tone, as they're self conscious about their early maturation.

ps. The owners of all 30-whatever MLB teams said that if Mcgwire and Sosa go head-to-head in a homerun derby during the 7th inning stretch... (provided, MLB viewership increases along with MLB merchandise sales) they'll start buying and stocking their clubhouses with our Fortified Sunflower Seeds: Enriched w/ "B Vitamins" again. And we might get our "Official- Fortified Sunflower Seeds: Enriched w/ 'B Vitamins'- of Major League Baseball" status back. And that's good business my friend!

He suggested, for our product:
We can call it " B seeds : chicks dig the long ball"

My response:
Yes, how bout - "B seeds: chicks dig the long ball: the official fortified sunflower seeds of Major League Baseball: from the Los Angeles sunflower gardens of Anaheim."

or we can just name them after the highest bidding insurance company, bank, fruit juice or beer company, etc. -- Safeco seeds, Chase Chewables, Busch/Miller/Coors snacks, we might also contact Citizen's Bank, Petco, Progressive, Target, AT&T, Minute Maid, Tropicana, US Cellular, Sun Life, or PNC (whoever they are). I called Enron Corporation, but got the answering machine- "you have dialed 1-800-**** voice mailbox is full."
