With the Little League Baseball World Series underway, and Major League Baseball is in the playoff run, this lighthouse (which I hadn't heard of before), seemed appropriate. It comes from Korea, the world's home of creative lighthouses.
This one is called Chiram Hang, and it's on a breakwater for a harbor north of Busan, which is on the southeast coast of South Korea. (Here's a map.)
So here's what my guiding light (ha), the Lighthouse Directory, has to say.
"2011. Active; focal plane about 11 m (36 ft); green light, characteristic unknown. Approx. 8 m (26 ft) round tower shaped like a baseball bat. Next to the tower are sculptures of a baseball and a baseball glove."Well, that pretty much gives it away. Here's a very short article about it:
"Baseball City" Busan lights up a baseball bat-shaped lighthouse
All they need now is a gigantic box of Cracker Jack to go with it.
