Been there, done that

Reader Bojack points out that Outside the Beltway is running a strangely familiar caption contest.

Yawn.

Chewie didn't mind putting in celebrity appearances at Fenway, but he resented being made the focus of yet another caption contest.

Last year, the Red Sox broke the fabled curse of the Bambino and won the World Series, but only after coming back from a 3-1 deficit to the Yankees to win the AL pennant. In the Star Wars movies, the wookie Chewbacca was a pal of Han Solo, who was played by Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford also played Indiana Jones, who found the Ark of the Covenant but then lost it somewhere in a government warehouse. Remember that an army that marches with the Ark of the Covenant before it is invincible. And now, Chewbacca appears in Fenway with the word "ARK" above his head. Coincidence? Dan Brown and I think not!

* And when Bob Geldoff took to the mound, the spirits of the home team sank.

* John could never figure out why when he came out of the dugout, the annoucer always played this one old Cowsills record...

* The Feminist leauge's first pitch.

* ...He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent....

* I know, but even after a few drinks, she doesn't look any better at all...

* They say at his wedding, "Groom" was a VERB, not a NOUN.

* You remember the 60's? He's still working on the hair he started then.

* Good thing he's a great pitcher. At home, he keeps scaring the crap outta the dog catcher.

* When he throws a splitter, it arrives in two peices

* Things started getting out of hand when he started pitching hairballs.

* While playing for the farm team in Oklahoma, he once got into an argument with a news reporter who called him the furry with a fringe on top.

* May the fur be with you

His penchant for baseball made him throw that first pitch. But the polls showed he was president non grata. Only Laura and the Secret Service knew he was there.

Dateline, October 7th, 2006

"And yes fans are still disappointed with MLB Union not signing a contract extension. But the replacement players brought in from Hollywood has proved to very entertaining for many of the crowd, bringing in sellout crowds to all of the end-of-season games.

So yes folks, there will be a World Series this year of the Walkout, between the George Lucas ILM and Creature Shop team of 'Furs and Lasers'(TM) and the Dreamwork's Shrek4 teams.

And that's all from Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem field."

Found alive and well after being stranded for 25 years on a deserted island, Al Hrabosky (formerly "The Mad Hungarian", now "The Wookie of St. Louie") gets a chance to show the Cards that he still has good stuff.

With all that fur, it was a foregone conclusion that his belly itched, but no one from the opposing team's bench dared to taunt him!

OR, just simply...

"Wookiee of the Year!"

David Wells looks like he's dropped a few pounds.

Gaylord Furry rode his sinking furball all the way to Cooperstown.

Balk!

Chewbacca would have been a cinch for Wookie of the Year if the league hadn't taken exception to what it referred to as "his shameless promotion of smokeless tobacco."

Rafael Palmiero continues to deny taking massive doses of steroids or Minoxidil as he tries to resurrect his career as a pitcher in AA ball.

No matter where you play, it's still sixty feet six inches to home, ninety feet to first, and a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Even George Lucas has resorted to bad baseball metaphors:
Star Wars VII - Wookie Strikes Out
Star Wars VIII - Bang the Sith Slowly
Star Wars IX - For Love of the Cash
