Atheists Taking Soles at St. Paul Saints Baseball Game
St. Paul, MN, July 24, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Local atheists are asking fans of the St. Paul Saints to leave their soles at the gate on Saturday, August 8, 2015 for “Atheist Night” at CHS Field. The Minnesota Atheists, Humanists of Minnesota, and Foundation Beyond Belief are partnering with the Saint Paul Saints minor league baseball team for a night of unbelievable fun and charitable shoe drive.
The Saint Paul Saints team name will be secularized to “Mister Paul Aints” for the atheist takeover when they play their division rivals, Winnipeg Goldeyes. The “S” in Saints will be covered on signs throughout CHS Field and the home team players will wear “Mr. Paul Aints” jerseys which will be auctioned off during the game. The auction’s proceeds will benefit the charity work of Foundation Beyond Belief. The shoes which are collected will be delivered to Soles4Souls, a 501c3 organization dedicated to fighting the devastating impact of poverty.
“We are excited about partnering with the St. Paul Saints to achieve positive atheism in their new heavenly ballpark,” said Eric Jayne, president of Minnesota Atheists. “The game of baseball is filled with miracles, curses, saints, and sinners, so it makes sense that our national pastime could help compel baseball fans to hand over their soles to a group of atheists.” Full information about the Mr. Paul Aints game is at MinnesotaAtheists.org/BaseballGame
