With summer right around the corner (apparently), here are some of my favorite, quirky things about America's past-time and the Boys of Summer: -Players getting off the bench to congratulate someone who just laid down a sacrifice bunt or intentionally hit the ball to the right side to advance a runner to third. -Outfielders laying out for fly balls. -The phrase "dealing" when referring to a pitcher who has nasty stuff on a particular day -Catchers sacrificing their bodies to block a pitch in the dirt -When home team fans boo a visiting pitcher for throwing a pick-off attempt (this one is so stupid and pointless that it cracks me up) -Giving a standing ovation to a pitcher who has thrown a great game and just been removed during an inning... Then having the pitcher tip his cap in acknowledgment of the fans -Hitters who don't use batting gloves -Referring to all players as "kid" (i.e. "what do you say now kid?") -Fans singing along to the National Anthem -Plays at the plate Do you have an quirky favorites about the game of baseball? |

Robble robble! Double switches. Robble robble Posted by: The Statue of Harold Baines My favorite thing about Miller Park is when Brian Shouse comes in to pitch at the stadium audio guy plays Tears for Fears "Shout" Posted by: Jason Moe Location: Mokena, IL -I love the Pine Tar On Helmets - The Infield fly rule - The Double switch in the NL - Sunflower seeds - Big League Chew - A guy named Tuffy Rhodes Who hit three homeruns on opening day Posted by: Packer Fan Location: WI I don't know if this is quirky, but when I was first getting interested in baseball (a few years ago), Milwaukee did not have a professional baseball team. I was drawn, instead, to the Cardinals, who may have been the best team in baseball at the time ('67 and '68.) I liked the speedy Lou Brock and,of course, Bob Gibson. To this day, I still like the Cardinals. I also support the hometown team, of course. |
