The Ghosts of Wyoming

With the recent Obamamania invasion of the state of Wyoming,most of us only recently remembered that it was indeed part of this nation. For those of you who don’t know, this typically Red State who’s largest city boasts a population of 53,000 people, is a sparsely populated range of wilderness that is home to many a gun-totin’ conservative, bible-thumpin’ cowboys, and yes, even a minor league baseball team.

The Casper Ghosts of the Pioneer League call Casper, Wyoming (population 49,644) home. Besides the obviously tired pun of their name, the Ghosts of Wyoming are known as “the only team in minor league baseball to wear glow-in-the-dark caps”! Yay for them! What a rudimentary gimmick to get fans to come to the ballpark! Oh, but wait, that’s not all…

In fact, if you manage to finish your homework assignment on why Creationism trumps factual science, your mom and dad might let you go to a game. And if you’re really good and don’t curse or say ‘kill the umpire’, you might just come home with one of these:

Of course, I am all for baseball anywhere in this world, even in Lord Cheney’s home state. So if you do go to a Ghosts game, make sure you bring your rifle; you never know what could run across the field.
