Minor League GM gets mid-game prostate exam while singing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game'

There are Minor League gimmicks and then there are Andy Milovich's Minor League gimmicks.

Milovich is the GM of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (a Class A affiliate of the Rangers), and at Thursday's Prostate Cancer Awareness Night at TicketReturn.com Field at Pelicans Park, he wanted to make sure everyone knew what the evening was all about.

So, Milovich had a doctor visit the stadium's press box to conduct an actual prostate exam as the GM sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch.

sort of...wonder if that's where he got the idea.

And one has to ask, did he hit some pretty high notes while he was singing and being probed?
