DURHAM, N.C. (AP) The Durham Bulls - the minor-league baseball team made world famous in the 1988 Kevin Costner film ''Bull Durham'' - are going back to the movies for one game this season.
The team will wear jerseys that resemble R2-D2 during their annual ''Star Wars Night'' on May 4.
The selected date is a pun on an oft-quoted line from the ''Star Wars'' movies: ''May the force be with you.''
The team says it will auction off the jerseys to benefit the Autism Society of North Carolina.
