Understand This, Understand America
SAVANNAH, GA - The Savannah Sand Gnats are truly bringing the heat with a first-ever fire promotion at a minor league baseball game on Saturday, August 14 with Guinness World Record Holder, Ted Batchelor. After the Sand Gnats' game against the Kannapolis Intimidators, which will begin at 6:05, and before the evening's fireworks show, one lucky fan will light Batchelor on fire; he will then circle the bases at Historic Grayson Stadium.
Batchelor, 51, owns the Guinness World Record for the "Longest full-body burn without supplied oxygen" at 2 minutes, 57 seconds, set in Rome, Italy on February 25th, 2010. He and his crew also set the World Record for the "most people on fire simultaneously" at 17, on Pizak Farm in South Russell, OH, on September 20, 2009.
"This is a game-changer," said Sand Gnats President John Katz. "Instead of having our promotions crew do the Cha-Cha Slide between the game and the fireworks, we're going to light a match and make some memories. Some really, really cool memories."

Is this a great country, or what?
I hope the Dems don't hear about it--they'll try to prohibit it.

I wonder if this will catch on the way the "streaker" craze did in the '70's. Will we see a flaming man race through the Academy Awards?
