You’ve heard it before and we’ll say it again: Braaaaaaaains. And what goes with brains better than a side of good old fashioned baseball? Not much, say we! Conjured up by the Saint Paul Saints and the nuts that put on the famed Zombie Pub Crawl (a day-long bar hopping expedition that brings out thousands of undead to the streets of Minneapolis each year) today’s melding of rotting flesh and America’s favorite past time serves as a teaser for the pub crawl  (held in October).  And, well, basically it’s just a good excuse for people to put on zombie makeup, say “brains,” and drink a lot. After all, what better way to cover up public drunkeness than with an exaggerated zombie shamble?

The Saints’ July 30th game has been officially coined the “Game of the Living Dead,” and while we’re pretty sure the players won’t be zombified, we expect that the legions of undead in the stands will be creeping the living out enough for everyone. On the fence about getting dressed up? Think again: Prizes for the best zombie costumes AND a “So You Think You Can Thriller-Dance” contest will abound.

And just to round things out, Midway Stadium is holding a mini-Zombie Pub Crawl of its own: shuffle your way to at least five beer vendors, get your card stamped at each one and you’ll get a free t-shirt (and hopefully some brains).

The game happens Friday, July 30th at 7:05 p.m. and tickets are available online or at the gate. For more info visit www.saintsbaseball.com
