we kinda need a 'only in Florida' thread
The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp will celebrate “Florida Man Night” on July 26.
JACKSONVILLE, FL (Gray News) - Florida is home to sunny days, orange trees, more than 1,000 miles of beautiful beaches, natural wonders, an absurd number of toll roads and some of the most bizarre headlines.
The Sunshine State gave us the case of the armless man accused of stabbing a tourist, the woman who was shot after performing a sex act for Pringles and $5, the man who was jailed after giving his girlfriend a wet willy and the woman who chased her parents with a knife when they refused to take her to Outback.
It’s unclear how these stories make residents feel, but a minor league baseball team in Jacksonville is fully embracing the weird trouble Floridians often find themselves in.
The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp will celebrate “Florida Man Night” on July 26. The Double-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins has been pretty tight lipped about the promotion. But they did promise Jacksonville will break a weird Florida law in every single inning.
God help us if the game is tied after nine innings.
“There will be a lawyer in the house,” the team said on Twitter.
