What these "fillers" have to do with the actually game of baseball is beyond me. If I'm going to a sportsfield to watch a game, then I'm going to watch a ballgame. Not to watch Lucile and her 6yr old son win a free pass to White Water. These little games and give-aways didn't add to the excitement, they merely made the wait time between innings even longer.
