Phillies A Real Cock To Some Fans

The Phillies sent out a promotional DVD to season ticketholders who had not renewed their tickets. They were hoping that highlights of Chase Utley and Ryan Howard would lead the season ticketholders to re-up.

Instead, a few people got cockfighting DVDs emblazened with the Phillies logo. The company pressing the DVDs, it turns out, left a bit of a previous run on the first few discs, which led to the error.

What I want to know is: Who was the other customer? Like, seriously. Cockfighting DVDs? I sort of guess how you could want to go to a cockfight — okay, not really — but to watch it on DVD? Ick.

Then again, who’d want to watch Phillies highlights, either?
