Bobby Bonilla Day Celebration!

For most of us, July 1st is just that — the first day of July.
But, for Major League Baseball fans—and, more specifically, New York Mets Fans—it's "Bobby Bonilla Day!"

What??
In honor of Bobby Bonilla: a great ballplayer, a great guy, a Sarasota local, and the most baller contract buyout king of MLB history... we are offering $1.19 pints of Captain Lawrence Orange Crusher beginning at 5pm on Tuesday, July 1st, until the keg is gone!
Plus, we will have a special limited menu of Ballpark Snacks: popcorn, hot pretzels, and dirty water hot dogs!!

Why??
Bobby Bonilla was a Major League Baseball All Star player for 16 seasons. He played for the New York Mets from 1992-1995, and, again from 1999-2000. The Mets released Bonilla in 2000 owing him $5.9 million left on his contract. Bonilla's advisors negotiated a deal that would pay him $1.19 million per year for the 25 year period from 2011 thru 2035! Yes, you read that correctly! He was owed $5.9 million, and, instead of paying him that lump sum in 2000, the Mets pay him $1.19 million every July 1st for 25 years!

That is worth celebrating!!! (maybe, if he sees this, Bobby Bonilla will make an appearance for a beer or two with us!)
