Adventures in Cosplay: St. Louis Cardinals

While, to the untrained eye, these various Cardinal rookies appear to be dressed in a haphazard assortment of humiliating costumes, the discerning reader will note the obvious theme among their respective outfits — namely, that each one represents a different era in David Bowie’s long and important musical career.

The idea, of course, comes courtesy of Lance Berkman, who’s on record as saying, apropos Bowie’s glam-rock alter ego, “Ziggy Stardust really taught me how to just be Lance Berkman.”
