Whether we're lining the streets to cheer on a local legend or standing up against our hated rivals, L.A. has always been a sports town.

Last night we went undercover into a secret layer of L.A.'s subculture where sweatbands, man tanks and shameless, passionate ball pelting are the most salient motifs. No, we are not talking about the [insert name of any gym on Santa Monica Blvd between San Vicente and Crescent Heights] in BoysTown.

This is pretty much the best thing I've seen happen at a bar in the East Village. Ever. If you're confused, read THIS. I'm so jeal right now. More»
