These are from an old David Letterman Top 10 list. I just found 'em at Baseball Almanac.

1. Along the lines of the anthem

I wish they would go back to singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the 7th inning stretch instead of that stupid "Proud to be American" shite that they sing now.

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. Most clubs have 'God Bless America' only on Sundays now

and "patriotic" holidays.

[geardaddy]

4. Yeah I knew it was something like that, but

It used to be every game here. I haven't been to a ball game in a while.

11. The Twins quite the Lee Greenwood thing about 2 years ago.

It was rather annoying before they knocked it off.

[geardaddy]

13. Thank Dog.

The last game I went to they sang that shite during the 7th inning stretch. I think that's why I haven't been to a game since.

16. LOL ------ what?!?!?!?!

At Dodger Stadium, we've always sung Take Me Out To The Ball Game. I know I've seen that hokie fireman or cop dude sing God Bless America at a Mets game on TV, but I've never heard of this "Proud To Be An American" song.

[geardaddy]

17. You've never heard it?

Consider yourself lucky.

20. They started that right after 911...

some Irish Tenor type from Brooklyn traveled around and sang at several of the parks. Nice voice but after about the 15 millionth time, it got kinda old.

2. If a player who negotiates for the highest League salary ever, to be increased again if

someone else receives a similar amount, plus final approval of the teams he can be traded to, claims he just plays "for the love of the game", will be forced to clean the dugout floor with his tongue after every regular season game.

And yes! this means YOU, Pay-Rod! You greedy assclown!

5. New gender, new uniforms:

[TZ]

6. Hmm

That uniform would make it a bit difficult to run the bases/slide into first don't you think..oh wait....:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Don't be silly

How would she run in those shoes? :eyes:

10. Pics from Spring Training:

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. They have spring training in Russia?

I saw that video, too. :P

[quip]

14. Change Baseball's national anthem to be: "Take me out to the blueballs game"

[NightWatcher]

8. I'd love to hear 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida' on the stadium organ

and the fans could bang out the 8 minute drum solo on the seat back in front of them

[KitchenWitch]

9. Those are great!

:rofl:

Love the slide whistle one.

[Brigid]

15. Love the "foul ball" rule!

It would be guaranteed to draw fans for any team! :rofl:

[lizziegrace]

18. 9 players, 8 uniforms

a girl's gotta have fun sometimes... ;)

How are you Oedi? :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. I'm okay

Countin' the minutes (122 of 'em) until the Dodgers game starts.



(I assume they'll be fully clothed.)
