The St. Paul Saints are at it again.

	The ties, which feature a caricature of Bud Selig, are expected to arrive just before the game.

Playing off the theme of Tuesday night's 7-7 tie at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Milwaukee, the independent minor league team will be having "Tie One For The Bud" night and will giving out ties with commissioner Bud Selig's face on them to select fans that attend Wednesday night's game against the Sioux City Explorers.

"In addition to suspending our club policy which restricts the appearance of neckties on the premises, we've petitioned the league to investigate the prospect of having all our games end in tie scores," said Tom Whaley, the team's vice president, in the news release. "We thereby reduce the risk of anyone getting hurt physically or emotionally by the random vagaries associated with on-field losses or extra innings."

After talking about the result of the All-Star Game in the office on Wednesday morning, Bill Fisher, the team's assistant general manager, came up with the idea. Fisher bought the ties, readied the artwork -- which is a caricature of Selig designed by an artist the team retains -- and brought them to the printer.

The ties are expected to arrive minutes before the gates open at 6:00 p.m., Joe Block, the team's director of media relations said. Any fan that wins an on-field contest during the game will receive a tie, according to Block.

On June 7, the team -- which is partly owned by Mike Veeck -- gave away seat cushions with Selig and union head Don Fehr's face on them.
