Streaker Who Ran Through Indiana Baseball Game Offered Contract
A streaker carrying an American flag recently ran across the field at a Dubois County Bombers game, and now he's been offered to play for the team.

I honestly don't remember much from the game itself, because that evening just so happened to be "Star Wars Night" at the stadium. While I was busy taking pictures with cosplayers, browsing fan art, and talking about Star Wars Episode VII with my buddies, others were actually watching the game. That said, I had a great time, and it was a memorable experience.
