It sounds like it may be a publicity stunt; it's at least incredibly unlikely to happen, and hasn't gotten a ton of press, but Empire Poker has offered to finance the Washington baseball franchise's stadium. In exchange for a few small favors :)

All the company wants in return is naming rights to the team's new field. And the exclusive right to all the signs inside the stadium. And, um, one other little thing: It wants to put Internet kiosks throughout the stadium so fans can play electronic poker before, during and after the game.

So, Washington would get baseball and hot dogs and box seats . . . and Texas Hold 'Em?

Sweet baby Jesus.

Actually, I really hope this happens! I can imagine some liquored up baseball fan getting involved in a hand only to find that he's missing the baseball game.

Chances of it ACTUALLY happening? .0002%.

It would be amazing if this were to happen. There would be unlimited benefits. From a poker standpoint, one of the on-line giants of poker can represent in a legitimate industry (sports) and through a humane way. Empire would provide baseball to a new city and at the same time amke poker more accessible to the "common folk" thus making the poker world continue to grow. There are many teams out there sponsored by poker sites (ex:www.888.com-English Soccer Team) and this would be a fantastic way of demonstrating how on-line gambling and poker in egneral belongs in sports, because afterall it is a sport itself.

Many men everywhere suffer from feelings of inadequacy resulting from their penis. A small or average penis can affect a man in numerous ways.
