Oh holy crap:
::Spider-Man 2 movie logos will appear on first, second and third base, plus the pitching rubber, a deal between the movie studio and MLB, according to today's Wall Street Journal. (Apparently, home plate was either too sacred -- or perhaps too expensive.)::
Soon we're going to have races around the bases, fans will get to sit on the infield, and Juan Pierre will have a TIDE logo on both his shoulders.
And...lest I not forget...the appearance of the mullet will multiply in parks.
Oh...big problems abound for baseball. Screw steroids. I'm more afraid of this NASCARification of the game.
You know this won't be limited to just baseball, though. Soon, it's going to get to the point that the NBA finals are brought to us by a Monsters Inc. 2 basketball--with the authentic available at Pizza Hut for $5.99, with the purchase of a specialty pizza and a two-liter of Pepsi.
The Super Bowl will feature footballs that you can OWN for just $1.99!--if you buy ten gallons worth of gas at Sunoco.
Oh well. At least bowling sold out long ago. Then again, it's BOWLING. Didn't have much of a choice there, did they?
