Minor League Spotlight is the MLB FanHouse's look into baseball's minor leagues. But you probably figured that out already.

It was just a matter of time before one of the many canny marketers working in minor league baseball found a way to make hay of the Alex Rodriguez-Madonna saga. The winner of that race is the Grand Prairie AirHogs of the independent American Association. Tomorrow night they'll be holding A-Rod & Madonna night during their game against the Shreveport Sports.

Couples who share an agent will get $1 tickets to the game as will anyone wearing an A-Rod jersey or anyone dressed as Madonna. No word on what A-Rod himself would have to pay if he came to the game dressed as Madonna but here's hoping we find out what happens. The most inventive part of the promotion centers on one of the team's own players.
The AirHogs will also highlight their own third baseman, Edwin Maldonado, or "E-MAL" and his rumored sightings with various celebrities about town.
The team will also be playing clips from "A League of Their Own" during the game but I'm surprised they didn't go the extra mile and order uniforms with skirts for their players for the game.
