    After conferring with Ginger and Sweetie, I have decided that Star Wars ball-caps are just to nerdy for me.

    Giant Star Wars tattoos are one thing, but these things are just FAIL.

    I'm pretty sure I catapulted myself firmly into "Ridiculous Star Wars Fan" territory a couple of years ago when I bought Stormtrooper armor online, but I can't see myself wearing any of these.

    Baseball is all about cheating.

    Does your bullpen stink? You can pay a lot of money for some good pitching or you can buy some lumber and build the giant wall in left field.

    Are you stuck with a shallow outfield? That's okay. Just let plants grow all over the wall and call anything that gets caught in there a double.

    And who needs to be nice to the visiting team? Put crappy water fountains in their dugouts.

    And while your at it, put a lip-reader in the bleachers with a pair of binoculars and a walkie-talkie to steal the other teams signs.

    Thank goodness there's no cheating going on anymore.

    @GitEmSteveDave_woot!sOffSoHard: I hope you're kidding man. If you're not, then I guess I'll inform you that the signs in baseball do not involve ASL. They are generally a series of essentially random movements made by the third base coach, until he makes the motion that is the "indicator", which is followed by the motion or touch that is the "sign," which tells the batter and any runners what they should do (hit and run, take, bunt, steal, etc.)

    @iamskew001: Yes, it involves hand signals, which someone who knows ASL would be very good at picking up, while someone who lip reads, wouldn't. They are also made by people OTHER than the third base coach, like the catcher, which is the most important one, actually, so you can decode what pitch is coming.

    It's like the concept used in the cork center variations for bowling balls I suppose -- my ball that I used for my HS bowling team (I can hear you laughing) was off center right because I was left handed and with the littlest effort it would break into a nice curve.
