The Brewers minor league affiliate has canceled its Second Amendment Night promotion, according to AL.com. The team had planned to raffle off gift certificates for guns, but apparently that idea didnt sit well with Minor League Baseball. <\/p>\n
Its in the best interest of baseball, general manager Buck Rogers told AL.com. He said the team was pressured into canceling the promo. <\/p>\n
Were part of a larger organization and we have to uphold the game of baseball. It comes before everything we do, Rogers said. Some teams do crazy promotions and fund-raising and we do that too. Were still going to continue to have promotions and things to bring family entertainment to Huntsville. <\/p>\n
The Second Amendment Night was slated to feature a raffle from Larrys Pistol and Pawn, a local gun shop. Winners of the raffle would have received gift certificates at the park for Larrys Pistol and Pawn, pending background checks. <\/p>\n
Rogers maintained that the raffle was a great idea. <\/p>\n
