The Toledo Mud Hens, a minor league baseball team in Ohio, are about to become the Toledo Wookiees for a weekend. Unfortunately, the team isn’t going so far as to all dress up in big, brown fur suits, but they will be wearing some pretty special duds. The uniforms have an exaggerated Chewbacca-hair pattern all over them. Talk about sci-fi stylin’.

The “Star Wars” outfits are just the beginning for May the 4th celebrations at Fifth Third Field. The first 3,000 fans will get a free kazoo to participate in a massive post-game kazoo band version of the “Star Wars” theme song. There will be “Star Wars” face painting for the kids, too.

Plenty of costumed “Star Wars” characters will be in attendance, including Princess Leia, Darth Vader, a selection of Stormtroopers, and someone dressed up as Chewbacca in full fur. The Mud Hens are affiliated with the Detroit Tigers, so they are no stranger to hirsute mascots.
