Chacin, The Smell of Victory

It's a curveball for your senses. That's right Chacin, Cologne for Men, will be given out to the first 10,000 fans at the Jays home game on June 27th.  If any of you have seen the promo for this at a Jays game or on the Jays website (it was available a few days ago, now I can't find it) you'll know that it is absolutely priceless.  I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a baseball game.

I remember seeing 'Chacin Cologne Night' on the promotional schedule at the beginning of the season and really wondered what it was all about.  Really what started all of this was the local all-sports radio station's (Fan 590) morning show made a joke one day about Gustavo Chacin's name sounding like the name of a cologne and they started running with it. The Jays picked up on this and decided it would be a good idea for a cologne to actually be developed by Gustavo and they could use it as a giveaway.  So they actually had Gustavo visit a cosmetics laboratory and develop his own unisex cologne.  Here is a link to the story that appeared in the Toronto Star in April if you are interested:

Well, Mr. Chacin and his scent take the hill today, just after 1 p.m. looking for a victory.  Here's hoping his start isn't a stinker!
