April Fools Day came early
The Tradition Field promotions department had a little fun at everyone’s expense on Monday night, using an impersonator to portray Adam Sandler throwing out the ceremonial first pitch and a PR intern to portray Tiger Woods in a between-inning golf demonstration. It was explained as an April Fools prank, even though April Fools day isn’t until Wednesday.
I'll admit it. I was briefly fooled and placed an item up as if the whole thing was real.
Don't know what prompted the well-orchestrated practical joke, but maybe it was payback for the hidden tarp trick the Orioles played on the Mets during Sunday's game at Fort Lauderdale Stadium.

I was at the game and sat in front of the Tiger Woods impersonator - he didn't look a bit like Woods - the Sandler character, well me and my wife both knew it wasnt him - especially that Sandler is an athlete and this guy threw a ball with as much grace as Obama tossing a bowling ball, What was messed up is that THEY DIDN'T tell us it was a joke and mae imbeciles of teh parents getting excited to show their children of of teh all time great athletes when in deed it was a grocery packer from Publix,

Pete's reply: I agree. We were so high up we couldn't tell. They even put it in the press notes without indicating it was a prank. Since it was not April Fools Day, I don't think it was appropriate to just leave it that way.
