The Akron RubberDucks, a Double-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, will host a themed night mocking the recently suspended NBC News anchor.
The Akron RubberDucks, the Cleveland Indians' Double-A affiliate team, have announced they will hold a "Brian Williams' Pants-on-Fire Night" night on April 27th, which happens to be National Tell a Story Day.
Other activities will include "a between-inning chance for fans to audition to be the next television news anchor on the video board, with the fan-voted winner's video sent to NBC" and "On-field contests, including 'To Tell the Truth' and 'Two Truths & a Brian Williams,'" also known as "Two Truths and a Lie."
The RubberDucks are also seeking a fan named Brian Williams to throw out the first pitch, read "tall tales," and offer up a pair of pants to be lit aflame in a "'pants on fire' ceremony."
Earlier this week, NBC News announced Brian Williams—of NBC Nightly News, not an Akron-based baseball fan—will be suspended for six months without pay after it was revealed he "misremembered" an incident that took place in Iraq in 2003.
