Who will win the base-ball matches?

Posted on April 3, 2004 @ 8:29 am

I’m off to see a spring training game between the Braves and the Red Sox with some friends (including my main man Justin) this afternoon. To celebrate the occasion, I thought I’d post this great image that showed up over at Gothamist yesterday:

“I hope you achieve more and more!” You’ve got to love Japanese fans. In New York, the sign would probably read more along the lines of, “Try not to blow it, pretty boy!” Most likely with a few misspellings, too.

By the way, the title for this entry is borrowed from one of my favorite Onion editorials by Publisher Emeritus T. Herman Zweibel.

    In case you didn’t know, “Zweibel” is German for “Onion.”

    Heh, that reminds me of this image (that I show to everyone whenever the chance presents itself).
