BURLINGTON, ON
This didn’t go down very well with at least one parent.
“The Punch” photograph – a signed Odor baseball and Jose Bautista jersey.
Minimum Bid – $150
The picture, the signed baseball and a jersey – they raised $500 for BOMBA – was it appropriate asks a parent?
The silent auction ran for the duration of the Blue Jays – Rangers series – that was just three games wasn’t it?
Well that auction ended and they realized $500
The parent that contacted the Gazette explained that the BOMBA – Burlington Organized Minor Baseball association – administrator sent an email with a link to the auction.
“My 6 year old son has played baseball for the past couple years. I think to promote to baseball players fighting and being punched in the face and then using this incident to raise money for any youth sport is in very bad taste and judgement.
What do you think?”
Indeed what do parents think?
Of course it is. What a stupid idea no matter who looks at it. Hitting a home run would be far more appropriate.
Bad taste & judgement ?
I guess so – but it seems to me like kind of a trivial issue to burden a 6 year old child with.
That boy might encounter real situations in his life. What happens then?
