Blabbermouth reports that Slipknot’s Shawn Crahan announced via his twitter that he’s editing video for a DVD for the anniversary of Slipknot’s 10 year release…or something like that.

Do you think Shawn Crahan is a fan of Baseball.The only reason I ask is because I always see him carrying around that baseball bat in photos. I mean I know he beats on the kegs and shit while on stage, but he also has it for photo shoots. I’m just wondering if he carries it everywhere like he does his camera. Like just in case he comes across a batting cage on tour, he always has his lucky aluminum slugger with him. Also does he use performance enhancing drugs like A-Rod and Clemens? I’m just sayin’.
