Holy Moses!

The Double A baseball team the Tulsa Travellers have come up with what they consider the perfect gimmick to encourage attendance for their faith and family night during home town appearrances of the team. And according to General Manager Brain Carroll, it is catching on. The gimmick?

Moses bobble head dolls. Yep, Moses, clutching the Ten Commandments. Now, I can see where the novelty of this might be appealling,and it might really catch on, and expand.

"The bobblehead craze is still out there," said Brian Carroll, spokesman for the Double-A ballclub. "We'll probably draw two kinds of people for the game, the Moses fans and the bobblehead collectors."

How about Moses as team mascot? Everytime a team member from the oppossing club hits a homerun he smashes the tablets on the ground in anger. Anytime the oppossing team has bases loaded he drops to his knees in prayer. Anytime the Tulsa team gets a run he lifts up his robe and starts dancing a jig like dance.

Okay, I know, that last isn’t in the Bible, so what do you expect him to do, chase down the oppossing teams manager and pour molten gold down his throat?

Who knows, this might even start a trend. I can see it now, Jesus On The Cross Bobble-Head Dolls..
