Today is May the Fourth, AKA Star Wars day, and to celebrate we want to send some big Ewok hugs to Oakland Athletics reliever Sean Doolittle, who is the biggest Star Wars nerd in sports.
We call him that affectionally.
Doolittle hasn’t tweeted since the night before Opening Day, but when he kicked off his season, it’s unsurprising how he did it:
He also dressed up in costume for the premiere, and got his girlfriend a Darth Vader costume to wear with him.
Seriously.

So happy May 4th, Mr. Doolittle. I’m sure you’re watching the movie right now. We can only hope you’re in costume.
