HBT: It's atheism night at the ballpark

The St. Paul Saints have never been afraid to court controversy when it comes to promotions. They?ve definitely stepped it up a bit with this one, as they?ll be hosting ?A Night of Unbelievable Fun? and renaming themselves the St. Paul Aints on Aug. 10.

The night will be sponsored by the Minnesota Atheists, with the president of the American Atheists throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.

?I think our message here and our brand of entertainment has always been one that?s been inclusive,? Saints GM Derek Sharrer told FOX Sports North. ?When we were approached by the Minnesota Atheists, we felt like it was within our nature to be inclusive and certainly work with them to provide them the opportunity to provide their message in the same way that we have worked with hundreds and hundreds of faith-based groups over our 20 years here in St. Paul.?

No word on what else the Aints have planned for the night, but I?ll be disappointed if some fans aren?t invited on to the diamond for infidel practice.
