A minor-league baseball team in California paid homage to Tom Cruise during one of its games. The tribute included a retrospective of the actor's career and a couch-jumping contest that alluded to his exuberant antics on Oprah. During one inning, no music was played and no players were announced; this hush commemorated the silent birth of his daughter, Suri, mandated by the Church of Scientology.
