Baseball 'LINGO'

[thenino]

I'm just wanting to know if you guys have any favorite baseball terms.. I'm personally a fan of 'can of corn.' What are your favorites?

[TrojanXplosion]

Personally a fan of "ducks on the pond", and "sumonthehighheat"...

[TrojanXplosion]

Some other favorites:

Can of Corn. A high, easy-to-catch, fly ball hit to the outfield (also known as a Can of Peas).

Cup of Coffee. Refers to a brief stint in the major leagues. Example: “Catcher Crash Davis was in the majors with the Baltimore Orioles for a cup of coffee at the end of the 1983 season.”

Keystone Sack. Second base.

Mr. Splitee. A split-fingered fastball.

No Room at the Inn. Refers to a situation where the bases are loaded

Bush-Leaguer. A derogatory term used to identify a low quality, or second rate, ballplayer.

How about when you get a screamin liner: "T.H.T.H".........Too Hot To Handle

[TrojanXplosion]

I personally like : "The game's in the refrigerator. The door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O's jiggling."

[SouthBound]

Ice cream coned.........ball caught on very tip of glove

I like "the heater". Or the "cheese" the "hot and stinky cheese". Also like, "Good wood".

[TrojanXplosion]

Some more favorites are "gopher ball", "Bronx Cheer", "backdoor slider", "wheelhouse", "whiff", "high and tight", "bang-bang play", "hot corner", and "Mendoza Line". Just to name a few others for you.
