i haven't been to a game since 2006, but i remember a tradtition that when there was 2 outs, 2 strikes, and 2 balls, everyone in the stands would take their pointer and middle finger, and rub them on the bill of their cap....and right when the next pitch was thrown, they'd grab their cap and slam it on the bleacher in front of them....

never understood why....

I know my class insited that the twos are for good luck. It started back in the early part of the century. As class of '02, we'd make '03 & '04 push for yelling "Twos!" or "Yahtzee!" if #22 was up with 2B, 2S, and 2 outs.

The doffing of the cap is begging for a good pitch / a hit since a missed swing ends the inning.

Way back, someone would always hit the bench and the clank annoyed one of the dead ol' army raggies... so we all started doing it!

This was all circa 1999, my pisshead year. only missed one home game that year. and my GPA sucked.

The stupid net is looser than a sorority chick this year. 8 out of ever 10 foul balls stay up there.

That's when we yell "Shake It!!!!"

A long dead tradition is from back when Scott Beerer Played for the team. jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla were still on TV with "The Man Show" and they'd end every show by yelling "ziggy Sake Ziggy Sake, Oi Oi Oi!" and chugging a beer.

So when Beerer was announced before the game, we'd all yell "ZIGGY SAKE! ZIGGY SAKE! OI OI OI!" and chug an invisible mug of brew.

Hello! Hello!

We should also add that folks walking in front of the bleachers on their cell phone while the ball is in play will be greeted with "HELLO! HELLO! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!" (esp. back when the scoreboard was sponsored by Verizon.)

If the offending person doesn't get the hint and stops walking to look up in the stands for friends, folks in various places will wave, yell "We're over here!" or point to other locations to further confuse them.

wildman,

thanks for putting this together. i am bringing a friend up with me from houston who has never been to a game before to the 5/6 (friday night DBU) game.

sent him this to wet his appetite.

also, i have no idea what the attendance will be like for that game. i checked the a&m academic calendar, and it looks like its a day where finals are going on.

dont mind us if we sit near the raggies that night.

bump

No more balls getting stuck on the net. And plastic chairs instead of metal.

Thoff, last year the umpires put a stop to the playing of rooster by AiC.

First I've heard of it, and I'm one of the ones who has done/does this.

Got linked in one of todays baseball threads, so bump for fun.

"Give Em hell, Bill!" When Bill Hickie would trot to the 1st base coaches box. Using food (McDonald's, Twinkies, or Freebirds burrito) to entice any fat player. "Rally killer" chant when an opponent has men on and the batter can't get them in.

When the opposing team makes an error, we used to make a giant "E" with both arms and a leg an yell "Eeeeeee".

Then there was George, behind home plate by the press box who unleashed a seemingly random top volume "Aaaaaaaaa" at least once a game. I know you are here.George. Was it random?

In addition to yelling at spectators on phones, you forgot the yelling of "BETWEEN INNINGS" at fools dumb enough to go to the concessions or bathroom in the middle of an inning.

Wasn't their something for when an opposing batter was hit-by-pitch? "Touch it" or "rub it" , or something like that. Sorry, it's been a long time since I've been to a game.

My favorite was in '89 playing Ark. Bubba Carpenter during his practice swings, One Bubba, 2 Bubba.... Then when his sibling batted...One Bubba's Brother, 2Bubba's brother.

Put FINKLE in!

Gameday!

This thread

And I hope someone still does Rocky

My son and his buddy are 12 and they love the rifleman on a K. I got a huge kick out of it, last year when we hosted the NCAA regional, and were subjected to crappy PC audio. All of us would still stand up and do the rifleman rifle cocking and holler it out.

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

When the umpire bends over to wipe the plate off with his golden brush, with his backside toward the pitcher, the yell is shouted, "Pitch it now! Pitch it now!"

Was "get in the box/that's our box" on there?

That's my favorite!

Then certainly you remember the sip player (Brooks Kieschnick?) with the exaggerated butt wiggle in the batters box........"one Elvis....two Elvis.......woo woo wooooooo!"

Robitussin! Rub some 'tussin on it!

Don't rub it! You'll go blind!

What about "Move up"

Bump.

Have some friends going to their first Aggie Baseball game tomorrow. Trying to brainwash them before they go!

When an error occurs, shouting "eeee" as you make an "f" with your arms....

Gotta kick that right leg out a bit
