Twilight, the Baseball Movie?

Alison Abby, who writes about sports and pop culture, at the Chicago-Sun Times certainly does make a good argument for Twilight as the next great baseball movie:

And in what is arguably the film’s most dramatic moment, vampire heartthrob Edward takes Bella to play baseball with his family, only to draw the attention of some visiting vamps who challenge the coven to a game, realize Bella’s a human, attempt to take a bite out of what they believe to be an after-game snack and kick off the film’s violent climax.

(Sidenote: Watching an entire field full of ridiculously attractive vampires play a baseball game in which both super-human sides are matched so equally that no one has a chance at winning is like watching the ultimate All-Star game. Only all of the players look like Derrek Lee, A-Rod and Jeter. And can fly.)

She also points out the sports-centric relationship Billy and Charlie have as well. See, Twilight really IS everywhere!
