The Los Angeles Dodgers today announced that they had signed actor Liam Neeson, who played Qui-Gon Jinn in the Phantom Menace, to a 2 year $90 Million dollar contract. The Dodger management hopes that Neeson will help get the team back on track after a disappointing first half of the season.
Neeson, who was sought out by the Dodgers because of his training as a Jedi Knight, is slated to replace Eric Karros at first base. A spokesman for the Dodgers told BNN, "Neeson's Jedi skills are tailor made for Major League Baseball. Because of his ability to use the 'force' there is no throw that Neeson can't catch. When he is at the plate he wields the bat like a light-saber. His batting average in training has been 1000. But, the thing that excites us the most is his ability to use the Jedi 'mind trick' on the umpires. We've never seen more calls go our way than when Neeson is exerting his influence on their weak minds."
The Dodgers plan to unveil their new first baseman in tonight's game against the Anaheim Angels.
