--Usually, it?s the minor league teams that come up with "wacky" promotions, but

too, thanks to Mike Veeck, who is senior vice president of marketing and
communications for the team. He is also the son of the late Bill Veeck, an
infamous baseball promotions guru. One of Veeck?s ideas for this season is "Tape

through a duct tape fashion show and other related activities. (Detroit Free
