<p>One way to boost ticket sales at baseball games: make the slow paced sport look a lot more epic than it really is. In Japan, the Chiba Lotte Marines have these <a href="http://ameblo.jp/taikiredtaikired/entry-10100159040.html">movie-style posters</a> imagining the away team as giant monsters destroying their hometown, Chiba City. Fittingly enough for a team that&#8217;s won just a single championship in 35 years, all of the opponents are painted wreaking havoc while the Marines cower and try to look menacing. |<a href="http://www.pinktentacle.com/2009/06/monster-movie-baseball-game-posters/">Pink Tentacle</a>|</p>
