A California lawyer, denied a free cap at an Oakland A’s game because they were reserved for ladies, has filed suit against the team to put a stop to the practice. Alfred Rava calls such giveaways ``sex discrimination on steroids.” He is also suing the Los Angeles Angels for giving away tote bags to women only on Mother’s Day.
When Rava attended the Oakland game in 2004, he said he asked for one of the caps that were being given out. ``The woman laughed at me and said, `No, these are only for females,’” Rava said. “I felt so hurt and humiliated.”
Rava says he filed the suits ``on behalf of other males who were denied giveaways because of their sex.” He is seeking damages of $4,000 on behalf of each man at “Ladies’ Night” games who did not receive the pink caps.
In response to Rava’s suit, the Oakland A’s have changed their policy. Under the new policy, the sex of the recipients will not be an issue. In a promotion dubbed “Ladies Undergarment Night,” anyone attending the game who had a bra, panties or pantyhose on them or with them was entitled to receive the free giveaway, which in this instance was a lip gloss tube with the team logo on it.
“Even Mr. Rava and others who are hard-up to get these giveaways can qualify,” said A’s spokesman, Bud Horney. “He doesn’t have to wear the bra. He just has to have it with him.” Horney characterized the promotion as similar to a “scavenger hunt” where people win prizes for collecting items on a specified list.

No way, this can't be the guy's real name!!??
This is ridiculous. The reason why bars have "Ladies' Night" is because of the infamous Bar Catch-22. Bars need women to come out, which attract more people, but men are the big spenders. Hence the promotions.
