Cosmic Baseball is ready to light up ballparks nationwide

Cosmic Baseball offers an electric new take on America’s pastime that features UV reflective neon balls and fluorescent jerseys played before screaming fans.

The boys of summer have captivated baseball fans for generations with sweet swings, savory hot dogs and a welcome escape during the sweltering months. But what if, for a few weeks of the year in a handful of ballparks across the country, they became the boys under the black lights?

Cosmic Baseball offers an electric new take on America’s pastime that features UV-reflective neon balls and fluorescent jerseys, and is played before screaming fans and children lucky enough to score tickets.

The first half of the game generally looks like a regular matchup, with a few quirks like pitchers in helmets and players running the bases backward. But after a brief intermission, there’s a cosmic “transformation” for a completely new nocturnal game.

Sam Brock / NBC News“For us, it’s how big of an environment can you create,” said Chris Martin, the creator and co-founder of the league. “And how many memories can you bring when the black lights go on?”

Martin says about 80%-85% of the players who make up the two teams — the Cosmic Chili Peppers and the Glow Mojis — are former professionals who competed in either the minor leagues or abroad and wanted to be a part of something breaking new ground.
