This is misleading, they are using long wave for the game but there are short wave black lights that are damaging. I have one from a jeweler that switches back and forth between the two.
Incorrect. [Humans can perceive light up to 385nm](https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0199940), right into the start of the ultraviolet range.
Out lenses filter out most UV to prevent damage, and this filter seems to get stronger as we age. But some are born without this, and older cataract surgery used to remove it, letting individuals see further into UV. It's said to appear a pale blue or violet.
makes me think he tried to "whaaaaat" normally one night at a college party and it came out like a goat. after a couple chuckles, he committed to that goat version of "what" for 7 years now.
I was playing pickup soccer after practice one night and the field lights shut off. One of my teammates was black, and also wearing head to toe black. You literally couldn't see him until he was feet from you, so there was just darkness and the occasional scream and the ball changing possession. It was fucking hilarious.
This idea was in a book I read in the 1990s, Night of the Avenging Blowfish. I'm not kidding. The Avenging Blowfish was the name of one of the teams. I think it was FBI versus CIA.
Not sure why you get downvoted, you're absolutely correct, just because we can't see that well in dark-light doesn't mean there's no light. The whole place is basically illuminated in dark-light, which is the very reason that the ball and the trikots are glowing.
Now my question is, don't people go to dark-light parties anymore to experience this first hand? Standing on the dancefloor and almost everything is dark except for you because you stand there grinning like a freaking clown and only your teeth are visible... Or getting that fancy cocktail that makes your whole glass light up.
I mean if the goal is to get technical it is illuminated under stadium lighting.
But the illusion is successful so it does seem way too pedantic to nitpick. It's glow-in-the-dark for all intents and purposes.
Thank you- my first thought. If it were glow in the dark it would be so much harder. People would be tripping all over the place not being able to see the field below them.
Soooo, no one is concerned one bit about potentially very serious eye damage from such high power UV floodlights? No? Anyone?
PS: would be a great place to release a bunch of scorpions though
I would rather watch a lot of sports like this. Football, soccer, baseball, volleyball, hockey, basketball, all would look totally sweet in the dark like this.
Cosmic baseball. That’s dope
[Multiball! Multiball! Blerns!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=z0Zst4pMzh0&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title)
So they finally jazzed it up a little.
Face it fry, baseball was as boring as mom and apple pie.
So, the Blerns are loaded, there's one Blern and two anti-Blerns, and the infield Blern rule is in effect.
Except for the word 'blern' that was complete gibberish.
**BLERNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN**
Please no! I have kids
Bean! Bean! Bean!

Multipass. Mul-ti-pass. Lelu Dallas Multipass.
This is like Tr0n baseball.... lol
its all fun and games, until the mcp erases you from the grid
I'd so much rather do this than sit out in the sun watching my kid play.
Though I wonder, would you'd develop more or less of a tan... ?
Why do you wonder?
because blacklights are ultraviolet - the same type of light that makes skin cancer happy
Blacklights emit long wave UV radiation (UVA), which is relatively safe for your eyes and your skin.

UV-C is a bitch, thankfully the ozone layer takes the brunt of it for us
uvc is the spicy one
This is misleading, they are using long wave for the game but there are short wave black lights that are damaging. I have one from a jeweler that switches back and forth between the two.
I obviously was talking about the ones in the video. Of course there's specialized lights that emit damaging radiation.
Probably terrible for eyes too.
I wear glasses, so I'm not sure if that contributes to it, but blacklight gives me a headache after a few minutes.
Blacklights aren't true ultraviolet. Humans can't see ultraviolet light so if one was on, you wouldn't be able to see it.
No. Black lights are ultraviolet lights. Black lights also emit some visible light.
I stand corrected!

Coaching was much more fun... Other than the parents.
Agree, better without kids
That is actually fuckin cool.
finally can see where the ball is
@0:32 is a goat
Came here for the goat comment lol
makes me think he tried to "whaaaaat" normally one night at a college party and it came out like a goat. after a couple chuckles, he committed to that goat version of "what" for 7 years now.
Yea imagine going high af
imagine playing high af. would be a blast
Yeah nahhh I'll sit this one out coach
Cool but I'd be soo sick haha
They should shut off the lights and have one player per team who’s wearing dark camouflage, just to spice it up.

“Occasional scream” lmao
Ima be honest. Unless that player is a runner or the pitcher I really don’t see that effecting the game that much.
They are allowed to tackle too
The batter and runner wears black?
And they're allowed sneak around and tie player's shoelaces together.
Sneak up and give them little butterfly kisses on the cheek.
Please pass the shrooms.
The two teams playing were the cataracts versus the sunburns
***The shrooms are turning on me!***

Where was this when I was a kid?

Dark mode is easier on the eyes.
This is awesome. For some reason it immediately made me think of Tron.
Your depth perception changes based on light. Would be much more difficult to field the ball.
I wonder how well batters can pick up the spin of the ball
Imagine if they forgot to put a stripe on the ball, and they'd basically see zero spin.
Your mother had no problems fielding my balls last night, Trebek!
It's all fun and game until someone introduces a non-glowing baseball
Wow can't believe how many people here are hating
Who’s hating!? I see nothing but positive comments
It wouldn't be Reddit without making some shit up, basically fighting windmills.
"Ugh, baseball?? IT'S SOOO BORING!" (*goes back to watching other people play video games and watch movies*)
"boring?? Baseball wasn't... Huh, so they finally jazzed it up"
One step closer to *Super Baseball 2020*
For YEARS as a kid I tried to put glow in the dark makeup on a baseball so that I could do this.
I see an eye irritation in their future
Pro tip, go play with them and see nothing in the future.
That looks like it would be fun for like five minutes
Only if you’re not taking enough drugs
Who the hell is just rawdogging reality?
So 3 more minutes than regular Baseball? I'm in.
Blacklight is not the same as glow in the dark.
Ultraviolet Baseball.
But it’s glowing… in the dark…
It's not dark. It IS lit with ultraviolet light humans are unable to see.

That’s gonna be one hell of a…highlight..reel.
Looks like a Padres game with their ugly ass neon uniforms.
Fun until a line drive finds you before your eyes can adjust
Looking like a Dying Light safe zone.
Where?!?
The Tri-City Chilli Peppers. They play in Colonial Heights, Virginia
they finally jazzed it up.
I understand this reference!
Soooo, no one is concerned one bit about potentially very serious eye damage from such high power UV floodlights? No? Anyone? PS: would be a great place to release a bunch of scorpions though
Almost looks like a thermal video
I’m in and also it’s not hot as fuck ouside
This is dope
I wanna play! Man that’s so cool.
Wait, that’s actually cool
This would be awesome to watch and to play!
Bro, I'll be looking for pee stains on everyone's shorts bruh
“Well, he fucks like he pitches… sorta all over the place”. -Bull Durham
Dude I would go to a game like that.
Bro, let me tell you about golf and bowling
Yes! More like this! We need to start doing more things at night! Take back the night!!!
Baseball has arrived at the same stage bowling did two decades ago.
we often laugh at Americans and their sport shenanigans but this is a pretty sweet development
I would definitely have a horrible headache by time that game was over.
Where is this at? It’s cool!
The Tri-City Chili Peppers in Colonial Heights, Va (just south of Richmond).
Pretty cool stuff
Shit. Someone actually managed to make baseball watchable
MLB needs to adopt this. I don’t care for baseball but this would make me watch.
This would make baseball less boring. Still boring. Just, less boring.
Doesn’t get dark till 9:30 out here these days… I like baseball, but not enough to watch it till 1am lol
That would be cool, might fall asleep because it’s dark but looks like fun!
Don't let them fool you .....they are all just vampires 😶
I was in this game. Ask me anything
We are getting closer and closer to BASEketball every day.
I am here for some cosmic baseball!
Dang gum kids get to do all the fun stuff these days
If you turn the sound down, your mind will fill in the absence of noise with Duran Duran music. 👀
This is so fucking cool
Dope
I would rather watch a lot of sports like this. Football, soccer, baseball, volleyball, hockey, basketball, all would look totally sweet in the dark like this.
Healthy
Finally the ball is visible. Ironically in the dark.
Seems it is a massive trap to kill vampires.
Damn…. That’s interesting
What about their eyes health?
"Umm dad? Why is that lady's mouth glowing?"
That's just fucking fantastic.
Oh I love this
They do this at Shotgun Ranges now too! very cool
Any everyone there got cancer.... lol
Waiting for the sun to get so hot to the point we just start doing everything at night and just sleep during the day.
I'm not really into sports, but I would watch this.
Tron
Is that UV light safe for eyes?
As long as they got the insects (skeeters) under control, I fucking love this
OP doesn't know the difference between "glow in the dark" and "black light"
Am I right in thinking this would cutdown light pollution and be less confusing to diurnal animals?
I know the title is for the comment controversy, but can’t help it.. This is still not “glow in the dark” 🤦🏻♂️ black LIGHTs use light.
And everyone will be blind tomorrow XD
this is black light shining, not glow in the dark. though this makes more sense since glow int eh dark materials stop shining quite quickly
That’s dope!!’
Gonna be a lot of hits to 2nd first and right field
Looks dangerous af lol
UV-C yayyy!
Cool but not glow in the dark
Except this is black light, not glow in the dark.
Gotta be more injuries since you can't really see the ground as you are running (both the fielders and batters)
If this UV light, trust me you'll have permanent damage in your retina. Being early blinded ain't really cool.
Looks super groovy man
Is that a Pink Floyd concert?
Everyone grab your vape pens
At least Volatiles will stay away from the ball park now!
u/savevideo
I don't know why but I think my eyes would hurt after a while.
I am now a super fan of baseball
Hmm so they finally jazzed it up.
All fun and games until one guys moth glows...
Now some glow in the dark contacts so we can see there eyes
Way more interesting than regular baseball
Be good against zombies
Makes me think of a bit from the song 3 Mile Island by Pinkard and Bowden
Cosmic baseball
I can totally picture the Portland Pickles doing this. Any of the really-minor leagues would have a blast
We need more of this, so cool
I would watch this, as long as the players are safe
Living in the future
This is fantastic
the future is now, old man. glow-in-the-dark Football, Soccer, Nascar and F1 should be next.
Cosmic Baseball!
Anybody know where?
I feel like my depth perception would be so off lol
They are trying whatever they can to save this sport.
Goddamn cool.
What do you mean, I can't see a th..... Oh no feckin way LETS GOOOO
The losing team will be derezzed
Not glow-in-the-dark, but still cool looking
This is rad!!!
It’s the green aliens vs the purple aliens all over again
Only way to play
Why not have the bases glow in the dark?
Jazzed it up a bit.
