Nick Lachey, Minor League Baseball Team Owner, Doesn't Swing at Sex Tape Talk

While Jessica Simpson is downright frazzled over rumors of a sex tape, her ex-husband seems to be taking it in stride.

Nick Lachey didn't comment on the bare boning of the situation as he took pictures of himself as the new one-third owner of a minor league baseball team.

Indeed, the Tacoma Rainiers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, can expect to hear numerous 98 Degrees tunes blaring from clubhouse speakers before every game now.

The pop singer was introduced yesterday with fellow co-owners and a plushie Moose named Rhubarb (in case you were wondering). No word on the whereabouts of Vanessa Minnillo.

"Baseball is a true passion of mine, Tacoma is a growing city and I have every intention of playing an active ownership role in the Rainiers as we continue to grow," said Nick.

As active a role as he played in the supposed Jessica Simpson sex tape? We may never know ... unless David Hans Schmidt works his immoral magic.
