Baseball à la française, and wine in baby bottles

Call this post "links to videos about French marginalia," since there are two brief clips that I'm leading you to (and that I don't have the skill to embed in this post).

First up, from Time, is a video about some Frenchmen who have fallen in love with American baseball and who play in a local league. While the game has not yet taken the country by storm, a couple of the players are good enough to have been scouted by professional teams in the U.S.

Second, via The Guardian (U.K.), is a story of a Montmartre restaurant with a gimmick: it serves wine in baby bottles. From the tables packed with tourists, it appears the ploy is working, but I'd suggest it's only for those who only like their cabernets laced with rubber.

The wine in baby bottles has something to do with a tax on wine glasses. Some friends in Paris went just to check it out. They said they wouldn't be adverse to going back. I don't think I would even be interested in trying it.
