The Church of Baseball - a list by hanahula

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's Kevin Youkilis Jersey

First to recommend

Description

To the uninitiated, the cheers from the crowd sound a lot like "Booo!" Well, if you are at Fenway Park, Kevin Youkilis has most likely just come up to bat or strolled over to first base. His nickname is "Youk" or "Yoouuuuk!" And he also happens to be the team's Roberto Clemente Award nominee.

Chicago White Sox's Jermaine Dye Jersey

First to recommend

Description

The White Sox are looking really good this year, and Jermaine Dye is at least partially responsible for that. Be sure to vote for him by tonight at midnight if he is your pick for the Roberto Clemente winner in 2009.

Detroit Tigers' Magglio Ordonez Jersey

First to recommend

Description

Hopefully, if Ordonez is the winner of the Roberto Clemente Award this year, the presenter will know how to pronounce his name. It's a mouthful !

Kansas City Royals' Mark Teahen Jersey

First to recommend

Description

This right fielder was once favorably compared to Jason Giambi, but seems as though he has made his own mark (thank you very much) in his own way on the game of baseball.

Minnesota Twins' Michael Cuddyer Cards

First to recommend

Description

Twins fans apparently adore the cherubic face of Michael Cuddyer. You can purchase a set of 20 different Cuddyer cards on their website. Well, if he is as much of an angel as he looks, he may just win this year's Roberto Clemente Award.

New York Yankees' Johnny Damon Jersey

First to recommend

Description

Damon pulled a "Babe Ruth" at the conclusion of the 2004 season, moving from Boston to New York to play for the Yankees. He may not get much of a welcome when the Yankees come to Fenway, but we really do miss you, Johnny. :-(

Oakland Athletics' Jersey

First to recommend

Description

Second baseman Mark Ellis is the A's Roberto Clemente nominee in 2009. Although he has suffered numerous injuries over the course of his professional career, he has nonetheless managed to hit the cycle (a single, double, triple and home run in a single game) in 2007.

Seattle Mariners' Raul Ibanez Jersey

First to recommend

Description

Fun fact about Raul Ibanez: his at-bat song is "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon. Interesting choice, but it seems to work particularly well for him when the Mariners play in Anaheim. Buen suerte, Raul, as the voting comes to a close in the Roberto Clemente contest.
