Since we haven't played it, we can only potentially file this under "Um, wut... ?", but Chevrolet apparently has a new baseball app out for the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. When you're not playing a game with teams like "Sil" (Silverado) and "Cam" (Camaro) or practicing your catching during spring training, you can head into the Chevy Dugout to learn more about the Bowtie's cars.
Naturally, there is also a chance to win a trip to the 2010 All Star Game, which might make the enterprise worthwhile if you're mad about MLB. Follow the jump for the press release or head over to the App Store to get downloading. Who knows, with seemingly the entire auto industry putting their advertising up for review, maybe there's still some life in the old "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet" chestnut.

Chevy Baseball, an exhibition game version of Flick Baseball Pro, available now on the App Store for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
App includes access to the Chevy Dugout where players can learn more about Chevrolet vehicles and enter for a chance to win a trip to the 2010 All Star Game.
DETROIT- Chevrolet is offering iPhone, iPod touch and iPad owners a chance to play a fully 3D simulation baseball game and a chance to win a trip to attend the 2010 All Star Game* with Chevy Baseball, a new application from Freeverse.
Users can play multiple three or nine inning games with life-like control of pitching and hitting via the accelerometer and simple tap to throw fielding mechanics. Chevy Baseball also includes a fun catching mini-game and a Spring Training tutorial mode to teach newcomers the ropes.
The app also allows players access to the Chevy Dugout where fans can learn more about select Chevy vehicles like the all-new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro and Equinox as well as enter for a chance to win a trip to the 2010 All Star Game.*
"We think the Chevy Baseball App is a take on two American icons delivered in a modern way," said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president Chevrolet Marketing. "The program is designed to give baseball fans the opportunity to experience some of the magic of America's favorite pastime, and provides information on our cars, crossovers and trucks from Chevrolet."
To bring this game to life, Chevrolet partnered with Small Planet Digital, a software developer with a particular concentration on the iPad and iPhone platforms.
Players can also send Postman postcards to all their favorite social networks to brag about their baseball skills. Plus+ integration allows players to track their progress around the world with online leaderboards and unlockable awards.
