Missed Promotions (AL East Edition)

DJ Gallo of ESPN's Page 2 gave his Best and Worst MLB Promotions a week or so ago. (read here)

But what about the promotions that didn't quite make it on the schedule.

AL EAST
The one they did
Tampa Bay Rays
Check out the Post-Game concert lineup Ludacris, Pat Benatar, Smash Mouth, Daughtry, B-52s, Big & Rich, and The Beach Boys
The one they missed
Bindi the Jungle Girl and the Crocmen. Check out "Animal Life" & "Trouble in the Jungle"
If you don't get it, then you and I clearly don't have the same sense of humor.

The one they did
Boston Red Sox
NOTHING, they don't have promotions listed on the website.
The one they missed
ABSOLUTly nothing, if your not going to do any promotions at least get a sponsor to not do any promotions

The one they did
New York Yankees
Dunkin Donuts Gift Card Night
1st 18,000 fans 21 and older receiver gift cards of a non-descript demonination

The one they did
Toronto Blue Jays
