Some minor league promotions are funny, but sometimes they go too far.

Minor league baseball teams always come up with unique and creative promotional ideas, but is it possible to go too far? 

On Monday, the Triple A Omaha Storm Chasers decided to poke fun at a player on the opposing team while offering a discount at the team store. They deleted the tweet, but it’s preserved here. 

Broxton isn’t exactly a great fielder. In 757 career minor league games in left and center, he’s got 37 errors. Maybe that’s why the Storm Chasers decided to scrap the promotion and issue an apology. 

• Bryce Harper took a secret selfie with an unsuspecting fan

Maybe Broxton will prove them all wrong and snag some web gems instead.
