A California lettuce supplier is trying to boost sales of iceberg lettuce by tying the humdrum veg to Father’s Day and baseball. The lettuces are being packaged in plastic wrappers decorated with red stitching to look like a baseball.

Another tennis star on the beach

Add another name to the list of athletes calling Miami home. Tennis doubles star Leander Paes has purchased a pricey oceanfront condo in Chi Miami in Sunny Isles for $5.2 million, according to a press release, which also dubs the building “uber luxurious.” Russian heiress Anna Anisimova purchased a penthouse in the building earlier this year.

The Chi, expected to be completed in late 2009, is to be 42 stories with 38 one-home per floor units of 4,700 square feet indoors and 1,300-square foot terrace with private mineral water pool. Prices run a cool $5 million to $6 million.
