Take Me Out With the Crowd

Here are some more of the best things about baseball:

- The 1991 World Series
- Nervously watching every pitch of a no-hitter
- The excitement when your team has the bases loaded
- Stolen bases and double steals
- A perfect bunt
- Late game, come from behind rallies - even better when there are 2 outs
- When your catcher throws out an advancing runner
- Players who wear their socks up, especially Jason Bartlett and Jason Varitek
- Ballpark hot dogs
- A full house crowd
- All Star Game introductions, best when backed with music from "The Natural"
- Playoff atmosphere
- Dapping
- An exciting 7 game World Series
- A White Sox loss
- Webgems
- Home plate collisions
- The home crowd booing the umpires
- Champagne showers and celebrations
- Random things about random players:
  • Michael Cuddyer's dimples
  • Johan Santana's butt wiggle
  • Nomar Garciaparra adjusting his gloves at the plate
  • Joe Nathan's adorable twitchiness
  • Justin Morneau puffing out his cheeks on a big swing
  • Mike Redmond dancing in the dugout
