Fans will hunt loose convict Minions in weird baseball promotion

The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in Japan are having fans hunt Minions for sport on May 28 as part of a new promotion celebrating “WE LOVE HOKKAIDO.” The three Minions will be wearing convict attire, and fans are asked to hunt for them around the stadium.

The Minion-filled day is helping promote the release of Despicable Me 3 in Japan, which has been titled Minion onsen of the Kaitou glue which Google tells me loosely translates into “Sharp-dressed Minions hot spring of glue” which is both the best and grossest title I’ve ever read. All depends on how depraved you are.

Either way, it’s a Minion-fest for the Ham Fighters. If you catch one and take a selfie with the Minion you’ll get a chance to win tickets and swag. There’s plenty of sweet giveaways, too, to satisfy your Minion-cravings.
