The Mallards, in what is being considered an unprecedented move, have offered a contract to a former star: Gary Coleman of Different Strokes fame.</div>
The the Mallards associated with any MLB teams? If so, I can see Coleman being a September call up From wiki: In 2008 Coleman had a short-lived baseball career after being signed by the Madison (WI) Mallards of the Northwoods League. Many felt Coleman would bring the mid-season boost the Mallards needed. He was in the line-up ready to lead-off when before his first at bat he was ejected for a corked bat and too much pine tar. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KAmQODdD8qM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KAmQODdD8qM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Too bad it was staged.
Coleman's gimmicks to bring back fame are getting ridiculous. His strike zone would be tiny so he should get on base quite a bit.
