Original Title: TIL In 1983, it was announced on radio that the hard to find Cabbage Patch Dolls would be dropped from a plane at County Stadium. People just needed to hold up a catcher’s mitt and their credit card, to be photographed by the plane. 20-30 people fell for the prank and showed up at the stadium.

      As I read this, I thought you were going to tell a story about how you tried stealing candy from a baby, but failed because the baby was just TOO strong.
