That guy is actually an actor who was in some Budweiser commericals, I believe that is the joke that the teams meant to have. The Northern league is a joke league that does cheap gimmicks like this to attract fans

Whenever they trade any player, they always get a bag of balls.
Two - if you know what I mean. :lol:
