Rowan's Big Baseball Game Photos
10/23/2023
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
At 7 PM, everyone started arriving as the teams were warming up. Rowan's already connecting
Vans TM Kevin Shealy checking out the crowd
Travis Harrison warming up his cannon in hopes of striking out some legendary skateboarders
But before the game got started we got a cash-for-tricks session on some baseball-themed obstacles!
Christian Hosoi and Pedro Delfino pulled up to watch the action!
Benihana to fakie! Yes, that was a make
Tony Willie in attendance, alive and well
Tyson Peterson and Roman Pabich passing out some cash
BSA, scooped off the stitches
Pedro, Kevin and Kirby watching some dope tricks go down
Max Wasungu in the house!
We even had a fool flying over the fence! Call this the night's first home run
Heelflip crook to win best trick!
The one and only Steve Van Doren passing out snacks to everyone in the bleachers
Baker fam, Figgy and Beagle
Tim Fulton and Davey Sales enjoying the action
Power couple Lizzie Armanto and Axel Cruysberghs
Cedric Pabich and Lauren spotted in the stands
Ashley Rehfeld and Andrew Reynolds were ready for the show
Then we got Ray Barbee on the field to start us off by playing the National Anthem on his electric guitar. Does it get any better than that?!
Echoes of Hendrix
Steve Van Doren and Rowan’s dad on the field with Vans' best whip
Flech and Curren hold down the dugout
Rowan and Jessie Alba, serious competitors
First on the mound, the man of the hour
What an arm! Throwing strikes all night
Vans fam got the best seats in the house
Elijah, Kevin, and JT sans Cracker Jacks
In the diamond, Jake Anderson scores a run!
Celebratory beer
Rowan hits a line drive landing him on first base
The mag's Dylan Christopher making contact!
After one of the night's best hits, Rick McCrank runs like the wind on the way to third base!
Sadly, the inning ended before he made it home. Oh well, he still got to hang with Salba back in the dugout
Jesse Alba on the pitcher's mound just seconds before beaming the poor batter—which would lead to some unsportsmanlike conduct
Rowan's team ain't above rushing the mound
Yep, we got a baseball brawl on our hands!
Things got really ugly. Rick had to take a step back
Dogpile!
Conor couldn’t believe his eyes!
Neither could Kevin
After the dust settled, the game carried on. Travis serves one up to Salba
Not just an editor, Jaime Owens hits a solid single
Curren wasn’t so lucky
Wouldn’t be a baseball game without some mid-inning entertainment. Place your bets!
If you picked blue, call your bookie!
The other team called in pinch hitter Breana Geering
Didn't get on base, but Travis gives her props for the effort
Meanwhile, Roman keeps the stands chill
Sosa and Pedro watching the action from the cheap seats
Berle puts up a run on the board
Breezy on the dad cam. ESPN could never
More runs adding up, Flech sprints home
Vans' Cierra Xavier making sure we all have a good time
For some reason, everyone on both teams seems to have the same name. I guess we really are just one big family
In the end, it would be Rowan’s team that takes the win. You thought they wouldn't?!
Winners
They got the ring to prove it! The collector's are gonna go nuts
MVPs
After the game, everyone made their way to the field for the awards and a view of the Vans video Blurry
Claudia and Sticky up in the mix
Everyone patiently waiting for the premiere
Showtime!
Mesmerizing
Homies Pedro, Rye and Tyson loved it!
Steve gives it the final approval
More friends, Dayana Young and Norma Ibarra had a great time
Until the rematch, thanks to everyone for coming out! Thanks, Vans, and thank you Rowan for ripping on and off the mound. You deserve that new shoe
