Things are definitely not normal these days, but let's pretend.

This is the "What Would Have Been" thread, highlighting what would have been each night's Top Minor League promos.

4/9/20: Opening Night

Two Midwest League teams started their season with a bobblehead giveaway.

The @BGHotRods honored their mascot, Roscoe, with a "golden" bobblehead.

The @TimberRattlers, long one of the Minors' most bobble-happy teams, distributed Keston Hiura bobbleheads

Two International League teams offered a 60 Degree Weather Guarantee: @indyindians and @RocRedWings

Neither of these weather guarantees were met. It was cold!

The Indians suited up in their Circle City jerseys.

The Red Wings gave away "flap caps"
featuring their Plates logo.

Tenor Timothy Miller performed the National Anthem before @TheRomeBraves game.

What a voice this guy has!

These were just a few (would-be) promotional highlights from (what would have been) Opening Night.

What'd I miss?

Should I keep doing this until baseball resumes, or nah?
