Warning: Wearing These Star Wars Baseball Caps May Be Dangerous for Your Health

80 freaking dollars for a golden baseball cap that will make you look like a sexually-confused British android? Oh well, I'm game. But I prefer the $104 Chewie, because it comes with furry earmuffs—totally worth the extra $24: More »

Playing Baseball with Rocket Launchers and Tanks on Japanese TV

You've gotta love Japanese television. Two nights ago, the show NTV showed the results of an experiment it attempted involving baseball, tanks and rocket launchers. I don't speak Japanese, so I don't know what their scientific justifications were for the experiments, but I do know the results, thanks to the below videos captured by Japan Probe: sheer lunacy.

Yankee Stadium Gets a Glorious Lego Send-Off

For die-hard Yankee's fans like myself, this has definitely been a year to forget. I think everyone would agree that the season itself was a total disaster, and I'm sure that there are a lot of people that are sad to see the old stadium go. Lego artist Sean Kenney is one of those people, which is why he and a Manhattan grade schooler spent three years building a 60" x 66" x 14" replica (1:150 scale) using 45,700 bricks. As you can see, the result of their efforts so far is impressive. When completed, the stadium will be populated with tons of miniature spectators and vendors. A full gallery is available after the break. More »

Ballplayer's Eyesight Is On The Ball, Thanks to Flash Focus and a DS

We were just about to stuff Nintendo's Flash Focus vision game into the snake oil file when White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski revealed he actually improved his hitting through daily use of the software. Like many of the White Sox batters last year, Pierzynski stunk, and to come around he played Flash Focus in the off season. Now, one week into the 2008 schedule, the hapless catcher has two home runs, a .529 average and a team-leading seven RBIs. And just in case Pierzynski's knees give out, as catcher's knees are wont to do, we're sure he's well aware of the fact that surgeons are busy with Nintendo training of their own using the company's other hardware, the Wii.
