We know this is usually on Chandler's Minor Enterprise beat, but it's Tuesday, and that doesn't run until Friday. So we're grabbing it: The minor league baseball world is capitalizing on Mr. Mexico's troubles.

The Long Beach Armada are hosting Michael Vick Animal Awareness Day.


Reminiscent of the infamous Disco Demolition over 25 years ago (without the attendant stampede and chaos), the Armada will destroy all Michael Vick jerseys in protest to the inhumane treatment of animals. Any fan who trades in a Michael Vick t-shirt or jersey at the box office will receive free admission to the game and a donation in their name will be made to Justin Rudd's Community Action Team ( C.A.T.), a 501c3 nonprofit that provides educational outreach and events to help inspire a better understanding of dogs, encourage responsible ownership practices, and offer practical adoption and rescue opportunities.

Three years ago, Michael Vick had the best selling jersey in the NFL. Now, they're burning it in the streets. That didn't happen to Kobe Bryant, and he was accused of rape.
