Buy Me Some Bacon and Cracker Jacks?


There’s nothing like a baseball game. The crack of the bat, the feel of the hot sun on your face, the taste of a cold beer and peanuts, and the smell of the bacon?
Kevin Bacon that is.

Bacon, the star of ‘Footloose’ appeared Tuesday at Bacon Night, a promotion by the Virginia Pork Industry Board at the Richmond Flying Squirrels game. The Flying Squirrels are the AA affiliate of the San Francisco Giants.

The famed actor, who is a Virginia native, threw out the first pitch and took part in game promotions, one of which netted a fan a one-year supply of bacon. Maybe next year KB can come back for that fan’s funeral when he dies of a heart attack.

Most celebs don’t even show up for these minor league promotions honoring them but after Bacon lost his ass in Madoff Ponzi scheme he probably has no choice. He might have even been doing it for free hot dogs and beer. Thank you sir, may I have another.

Anywho, let’s root, root, root for the home team and let’s hear it for the boy!
