From BN’er Dylan, it’s time for Fun With Movie Posters: Mr. Baseball, starring Bryan LaHair.

The opening dream sequence of that movie where he keeps get a final strike and missing seems very appropriate here.
Good work we all need some humor
Hey Ace- if you want some distractional pics to get our minds off the winter meetings how about a poster with Svuem with a duck on his head?
With those arms, he’s definitely laHAIR.
So, this movie was a total ripoff of the excellent book You Gotta Have Wa

It’s a little dated, but it is a great sports book, a great Japan book and a good time in a cold (OK cooling) winter. I enjoyed the heck out of it.
Bryan, if YOU haven’t read it yet, you should read it
Now.
Sweet! Thanks for sharing!
Will certainly miss him. Glad that I got the chance to buy a LaHair #6 shirt last summer.
haha this is so awesome!!
OK. I just saw Tom Selleck’s arms. Lahairsute.
I was thinking who would play principals in Moneyball 2: The Jedstein Story
Theo: Ben Affleck, natch.
Jed: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, gotta have young star power.
Tom Ricketts: Randy Quaid, he’d bring that “special” element.
Jim Hendry: Gary Busey, it works in so many ways.
Alfonso Soriano: Dulé Hill, 1000-watt smile, athletic build.
Ryan Dempster: Will Ferrell, he could do the Harry Cary impression.
Carrie Muskat: Meryl Streep, why not add a sports movie to her resume.
I’d pay to see that.
