File under headlines we never thought we'd write! Twitter user Shanna Shi wowed baseball and Pokémon fans alike when she started this viral twitter thread comparing baseball players hair to Pokémon. The thread became so popular that Shanna has already tweeted 60+ comparisons - and attracted the attention of the athletes themselves. MLB players Rhys Hoskins and Trevor Williams both begged for their Shanna-approved doppelgangers, and she gladly complied. Given that there are over 800 Pokémon in that adorable universe, we sure hope there are more tweets on their way. We've posted the bangers but you can see more here.

Remember baseball sex metaphors? How in High School Jessica H. was so cool because she went to THIRD base with CHAD? Well, the metaphors are getting a very funny revamp over on Twitter. It would seem people think the current "base system" is antiquated and a poor reflection of our stages of intimacy. It's 2018 and people have been going straight to what we used to say was a "home run." These tweets answer the question of what comes after our new "first base." They're hilariously telling. 

Of course, after the most recent win they should probably update that sentence.

Aside from Game 1 ending after a record-setting 14 innings, Fox News had some "technical difficulties" and there was a mysterious lady in a fur hat sitting behind home plate that stole everyone's attention.
