Since the baseball season began, we've been featuring 7th inning stretches at various Major League Baseball parks, and today it's the Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee is a beer town,so when they stand up during the 7th inning to stretch, they not only sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", but they follow it up with that famous "Beer Barrel Polka" ("Roll Out The Barrel").
Talk about "no respect"! Recently, a man in the stands during a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field tried to protect his wife from getting hit with a home run ball hit where they were sitting. How does she thank him?
During the baseball season, we've featured videos of how the different Major League Baseball teams deal with the "7th inning stretch" - when fans can stand up, stretch and get back into the game. One of the all-time classic versions of the stretch took place in Comiskey Park, when Chicago White Sox radio/TV announcer Harry Caray * would lead the crowd in "Take Me Out To The Ballgame".
It's fun to look at how Major League Baseball teams treat the "7th inning stretch", a time when fans can get up and stretch, get rejuvenated and most importantly get back in the game. If you've never been to Yankee Stadium, here's how they do it.
Over the years, I've been to a few Major League Baseball games, from Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium to Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. In my opinion, there's nothing like being there. Baseball on TV can be a slow-moving game, with camera's generally focused on the pitcher/batter, and wherever the ball is hit. But, when you're at the ballpark, you see all that's going on.
Spring has to be in the air as baseball season is on the way. On the college baseball scene, we've discovered a pitcher who can play football while playing baseball.
A sure sign of spring and warmer weather is the arrival of spring training in Major League Baseball. Most teams got their first spring workouts yesterday and today. Pitchers and catchers arrived earlier this week, with the full roster of players about to join them.
The World Series 2012 is here. So, if your team didn't make it, who do you root for? I had a winner on "Greg's Grill" noontime request hour yesterday, who said that he's a Yankee fan and doesn't care who wins. Hey, my team didn't make it to the series either (not even the playoffs), but I'm rooting for one of these clubs.
At Big Frog 104, we like a good laugh and know that you do too. So, I'm starting a new feature called "Just For Laughs". I called it that...just for laughs. With the baseball playoffs here, I thought a funny video with a baseball theme would be in order. Here's a hilarious interview with Billy Crystal as "Fernando", a character based on the Argentine-born actor Fernando Lamas back in the 1980's. And guess who he is interviewing!
Now that the Major League Baseball playoffs are here, many of us are watching and snacking every night. We're all familiar with football tailgate food items - Buffalo style chicken wings, pizza, ribs (if you live in Chicago and watch 'da Bears) and more. But do the same foods make it for baseball?
The "Frog Days Of Summer" mean vacations, picnics and baseball! Tonight, Major League Baseball's 83rd All-Star Game takes place, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on FOX. The game features the best the American and National League has to offer and will be played at Kauffman Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals.
The Major League Baseball 2012 regular season gets underway tonight, when the Miami Marlins host the St. Louis Cardinals at 7:05 p.m. on ESPN. Of course, this year's regular season opened last week in Japan, with the Seattle Mariners and Oakland A's splitting a two-game series.
