Boston Red Sox Announcers Play Around With Lightsaber [FBHW]

Free Beer and the guys watched a video of Boston Red Sox announcers Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy talkin' a little Star Wars. In the clip, Orsillo is goofing around with a lightsaber for some reason. How or why this Jedi tool materialized in the booth remains a mystery. Maybe it was Star Wars day at Fenway?

Hot Wings was amused by the clip, saying that he "likes when [the announcers] just stop watching the game." You have to give credit to Orsillo and Remy, though, as they immediately transitioned into a call for a Cody Ross homer.
