Rowan's Big Baseball Game Photos

Rowan Zorilla's got a hell of a canon. And we ain't just talkin' one of the most solid catalogs of video parts from the last decade. The man brings more heat than Cy Young and can knock 'em over the Green Monster with his eyes closed. To find out the extent of his off-board athletic prowess, skateboarders from far and wide gathered at Cal State Fullerton’s Goodwin Field. This highly anticipated game just so happened to play out on the occassion of his second pro shoe dropping alongside Vans' new video Blurry. And, yes, there was some skating for good measure. Join the fans as they pack the stands to watch what might go down as the game of the century. —Taylor Ballard
