ESPN telephoned Brian Bannister when he was in the minor leagues.

Sorry, they had no interest in an interview. But they sure could use his photo studio in Phoenix for a shoot of Milwaukee Brewers ace Ben Sheets.

Bannister and his father, former big-league pitcher Floyd Bannister, revived the set from the Saturday Night Live "Da Bears" skit of Chicago superfans with a Brewers theme.

"It looked just like a fan's basement," Brian Bannister says. "It was hilarious."

It wasn't until Sheets later played against the New York Mets and saw Bannister across the field that he realized he was a pitcher.
