This was the first time I had seen this particular type of selling, though the behind-the-plate ads, both virtual and real, invaded televised baseball a few years ago.

In these last weeks before spring arrives, seniors are finishing (or starting) their theses, midterms abound and visions of alcohol-induced stupors in equatorial locales dance in our heads.
