We didn't know that Chevrolet->ke199 liked baseball so much that they made a new baseball app for the the iPhone, the iTouch, and the iPad. Now, you won't mistake it for something along the lines of what you would normally play on the Xbox or Playstation, but for sheer entertainment value, the game's got a little juice on its swing.

Teams are predictably named after Chevy vehicles, two of which are the "Sil", as in Silverado->ke1787, and the "Cam", as in the Camaro->ke248 with game settings varying from a regular baseball game to spring training sessions. If you want to put your bat down for a second, you can head over to the Chevy dugout to check the latest four-wheeled machinery to carry the Bowtie badge.

As with most apps to come out lately, Chevy Baseball does come with a catch of its own: someone's going to win a trip to the 2010 MLB All-Star Game. How's that for a little incentive? And if you're already itching to swing some cork on those seam-lined balls, you can now download the app for free over at the App Store.
