The whole “we thought we heard a game” made me think when I first read it that Vampire Baseball was like, a species-wide thing. Like I was waiting for a Volturi Baseball League or something. But this is really the only time it comes up, like The Cullens alone play it. If the Cullens are the only vamps who play ball, how would the nomads know what a game sounded like? The collisions could be any contact sport or even just vamps sparring for fun (or trying to kill each other… in which case “curious” nomads would be kind of stupid to check it out). I mean Laurent’s a 300 year old Frenchman, would he really be that familiar with baseball if only humans and the Cullens play it? It made me think that the playing of vampire baseball was much more widespread.
Which would have been fun to see, TBH. Forget the dance off, they should have settled their dispute with the Volturi with a baseball game.

What’s sort of clever in the movies is that you see some of these moves revisited. Alice’s does that cute little kick when she pitches, but then she also kicks Aro in the head in BD 2. Carlisle does a slide to avoid Edward during the fight training in Eclipse. And while we don’t see Rosalie fight in the actual movie, there’s an Eclipse still showing her holding a tree branch like a baseball bat.

Baseball.
That so should have been a secret scene in the credits. Vampire baseball but with Bella and the wolves (in human form I suppose) playing too. I mean if we’re going to go for cheesy, let’s go for it.
More brother!Edward please.
Jon Stewart: I’m beginning to think that Paul Ryan’s past positions don’t really hold up to the light of day - much like Edward Cullen and actual light of day!
John Hodgman: That’s enough Jon! Twilight vampires aren’t your stuffy old world types who evaporate in daylight - no! They’re young…and sexy…and shirtless…and when the sunlight hits them, they SPARKLE!
Jon Stewart: So, when it rains…?
John Hodgman: Well when it rains they play baseball, obviously, they’re vampires.
Edward does not look pleased, and Jasper almost seems like he’s going to beat Bella with the bat.

Yes, I made the outfits.
