Need A Sick Note?

By: katypolansky | Category: Social Networking

The Atlanta Braves social media team made many of its Facebook followers laugh, myself included, this week by posting a ready made doctors note for its fans. The Braves have a day game tomorrow (Thursday) and in hopes of increasing attendance for the game the staff posted this message from Dr. T Hudson:

Need an excuse to get out of work tomorrow so you can enjoy an afternoon at Turner Field cheering for your Braves? We've got it covered. Just print this note, and submit to your boss!

Kudos to the Braves for this marketing initiative. In my book the ready made doctor's note from a star pitcher should become a regular member of the marketing rotation.
