The Chicago White Sox signed a 3-year deal with 7-Eleven stores to move the start times of all their home games to 7:11. Hmmm...attention getting. In the article, a spokeswoman for 7-Eleven said that the company is working to develop sponsorship deals with other sports teams and entertainment venues. Before we know it, the time of everything is going to correspond with a company. Other possible sponsorship deals in the work since this news broke:
Take Five candy bars is trying to sponsor the five commissioners of the FCC
7Up is in negotiations with the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Sesame Street was brought to us by the letter D and the number 5?
Anyways, the White Sox games used to start at 7:07. Pretty soon Boeing will be paying the big bucks for them to start at 7:47, huh? 7-11 better keep it’s contract going or all the other numbers are gonna cash in big.
(thanks Mike Gluck!)
