The Million Dollar Promotion
June 28th, 2011 | by Paneech |
On Sunday, the Mahoning Valley Scrappers welcomed Ted “The Million Dollar Man” DiBiase to Eastwood Field. DiBiase, one of the all-time great WWE heels, was on hand to sign autographs and greet the fans throughout Sunday’s Scrappers – State College Spikes game.
DiBiase pulled an old skit out of the woodwork when he offered the Scrappers Mascot ,“Scrappy”, an easy thousand dollars to do ten push-ups. Scrappy was moving right along until DiBiase put his right foot on the fuzzy canine’s torso preventing the tenth push-up. With his trademark laugh DiBiase blurted out, “Hahaha, not today Scrappy, sorry buddy”, and of course, the famous, “Everybody has a price.”
DiBiase also tossed out the ceremonial first pitch, suggesting he made a good choice going into wrestling instead of baseball. Despite the poor toss, the receptive crowd gave DiBiase a nice ovation for the effort.
August 28th will mark a complete pro wrestling card as Mick Foley and Al Snow will make a visit to Eastwood Field to actively participate in a card to take place after the Scrappers-Jamestown Jammers game.
