Why Minor League Baseball Rocks: Star Wars Day

Yeah, we've been heavy on the Star Wars content lately. Hey, just be glad my favorite movie isn't Zardoz.

And we're not the only baseball concern that loves Star Wars. Thanks to Big League Stew —even if 'Duk can't tell the difference between Oola and Aayla Secura—for bringing to our attention the Pawtucket Red Sox (Boston's Triple-A team) and their Star Wars Day last Sunday.

And Bantha-sized thanks to Flickr user tekjock, whose page we lifted these photos from like Yoda lifting Luke's X-Wing from the Dagobah swamp:

"Watch me get a Force out. Ha ha, get it? Oh man, I kill me."

Big League Chew.

The Sand People are easily startled, but they will soon be back, and with the bases loaded.

Who needs the Dodger Trolley?

Go Blue!

For Your Consideration

We all adore For Love of the Game star Vin Scully (who's much more articulate and brawnier than Vin Diesel). But with Mr Scully cutting down his workload (and his fear of kryptonite lurking east of the Rockies), the Dodgers will need to consider finding a new voice. May I suggest... ZARDOZ!
