Okay so this one's a stretch, but does have some interesting coincidences, so here goes.
1. Penn ball = Sean Penn
2. Sean Penn is famous for his acting in Rainman
3. In Rainman Penn's character is obsessed "who is on first base"
4. when one types first base into google the
4th result is
http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=first_home the autodesk FIRST robotics home
5.(this is where it gets even more sketchy) when you go under training resources two names are mentioned, Phil Dollan and Ted Boardman, and when these names are searched on google the
4th result is on of their
blogs which has a google description that mentions FIRST and the Georgia Dome
Thats where I lost the "trail" if you can call it that, but maybe someone else can pick up another clue from this chain of "coincidences".
