BACONSHARK Throws Out The First Pitch

And so it was that BACONSHARK, the 2007 PBRPRPSCLCS Champion, was invited to throw out the first pitch at a Camden Riversharks game. And in a great moment for marine life, BACONSHARK threw that pitch to a Shark. Well, a dude in a shark costume. But it still counts!

A Rock Paper Scissors tournament bookended the First Pitch event, as literally tens of Philadelphians and South Jerzians battled for the honor of winning (and some Riversharks swag). Many a close match was played. Our own Zombie Llama was defeated by his roommate (Steve From Ant Baby Machete Squad) in the opening round. When Steve From Ant Baby Machete Squad asked if this was a "dick move" on his part, the resounding reply was, "Yes - well done!"

The Final Four of the tournament came down to Mr. Strawberry, The Fluffy Giraffe, Hisae Arai, and MOMMASHARK (BACONSHARK's momma). Mr. Strawberry defeated The Fluffy Giraffe, thus permanently raising the ire of David Bowie's Package. Hisae Arai then took down MOMMASHARK, which also raised some ire, but not as much as that Strawberry guy. In a very close Final Match that was poorly narrated by The Announcer, Hisae Arai took the victory all the way home to Japan. Mr. Strawberry proved once again just how consistent he can be at choking in the Finals of a big event, as he did when he lost the 2007 PBRPRPSCLCS Championship to BACONSHARK.

What's this? You say you shan't believe my words until you see proof for thine own self? Well then nonbeliever, gander upon the official PBRPRPSCLCS blog post about the event. Or, if you're too lazy to push that button, push the one below and watch a stunning video montage of the day's adventure.
