Yesterday before the Dodgers game (at Dodgers Stadium in LA) there was an Holywood Star game. I missed the beginning of the introductions of the people there (the likes of Billy Crystal, Kevin James, James van der Beek, Clea Duvall, Scott Bakula), so I was very surprised to later hear the announcer say that Sean Astin was up next to bat! “Number 22, Sean Astin from “The Lord of the Rings!” Unfortunately I was pretty far back so I couldn’t get a good picture, but it was quite cool to watch him playing baseball. After several failed attempts of sweet-talking my way down to the seats by the field I resigned to watching him through binoculars.

Hopefully someone out there has pictures of this, but I just wanted to let you all know that he was there! And he’s a not that bad of a baseball player too!

Missed all the news this weekend? Well fear not! Take a look at our weekend round up section to fill you in on all the LOTR goodness from this past weekend! [More]
