The Church of Baseball - a list by hanahula

Options for This Page

About this list:

My favorite baseball movie isn't even about professional baseball, but about a minor league team known as the Durham Bulls. Perhaps you have seen "Bull Durham". If so, you will recognize the phrase I stole for this list. If not, you may already know how many unspoken rules and rituals and prayers exist for and about all levels of baseball, from T-ball to the bush leagues to farm teams to the "Show". It is, in its own inimitable fashion, a religion.

Qualifications:

I have my very own pink glove.

Boston Red Sox - Men's 2008 American League All-Star Jersey - J.D. Drew

First to recommend

Description

Boston Red Sox right-fielder J.D. Drew received the Ted Williams MVP Award (and a brand new SUV) at the conclusion of the MLB All-Star game. Drew hit a homer during the game, enabling the American League to continue their winning streak over the National League for yet another year. Maybe this jersey could bring you a bit of the good luck that Drew continues to bring to the Sox . . .

Boston Red Sox - 2008 Season Begins

First to recommend

Description

The Boston Red Sox traveled all the way to Japan's Tokyo Dome to play their first game of the 2008 season against the Hanshin Tigers. Although not nearly as raucous as Fenway Park, the Japanese fans made an honorable effort to welcome the Red Sox with such familiar traditions as the singing of "Sweet Caroline" and greeting Kevin Youkilis as "Yoooooook". The Sox will stay in Tokyo for several more days, playing against the Oakland A's on Tuesday and Wednesday. Let the games begin . . .

Description

Congratulations to all the Little League coaches across the world for engendering a love of sports and good sportsmanship, from T-Ball to Softball to the Major Leagues of LL. Every kid who gets to hold a bat, run the bases and throw a ball is indebted to someone who cared enough about the sport to volunteer their time (probably more than they realized they would) to coaching, disciplining, cheering, comforting and caring. We love you guys and gals !!!

Ralph Lauren: Men's Olympic Games US Shield Cap

First to recommend

Description

Although the United States baseball team defeated China 9-1 in yesterday's game, they did not come away from the Wukesong Baseball Facility unscathed. U.S. outfielder Matthew LaPorta was struck in the head with a pitch, fortunately walking away with a mild concussion. This occurred after LaPorta collided with China's catcher, Wang Wei, as LaPorta approached home plate. Two of China's coaches and the pitcher who struck LaPorta were ejected from the game. The United States faces Chinese Taipei today, Tuesday, August 19, 2008. Let's hope this game is a little less ugly.

Amazon: Fever Pitch (Widescreen Edition) with Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon

First to recommend

Description

Whoever said there is no crying in baseball has never seen this movie. Women cry. Men cry. For agony. For love. For the angst of the curse. And this is as much about the love of baseball itself as it is about romantic love that I am not certain where one stops and the other begins. But that's only one of the things I love about this movie . . .
