A couple of different people have talked about some kind of Volkswagen reference for Vernon Wells. Maybe a "vroom"?

It has to be something so exceptionally simple that it can be understood when thousands of people do it at the same time, but also plainly and simply self-explanatory.

So maybe a "Veeeeeeeeeeeeeee-DUB"?

Or maybe a rousing chorus of Deep In The Heart of Texas? ;)

Rember that song "Dub be good to me". I think that will the current U.S. President, everyone would understand a

"DubYEAH" chant.

In Houston they sing the Ole Ole Ole Ole song, except they use Yao Ming's name instead.
(Yao Miiiiing Yao Ming Yao Ming Yao Miiiiing
Yaaaooo Miiiing, Yao Ming
Yao Miiiiing Yao Ming Yao Ming Yao Miiiiing
Yaaaooo Ming, Yao Ming)

Could that be turned into something for the Jays?
I think it's kind of fun when I hear them singing it at the Rockets games.

That's a riot!

What songs can we adapt for what players?

This was in the other thread, but Robert's absolutely right about the attendance this year. It's actually been quite a bit better than last year.

In the 7 games that weren't the opener or a $2 game, the Jays had a total attendance of 110,008. In the first 7 non-opener/non $2 games last year, the Jays had an attendance of 98,778. An 11% increase is nothing to sneeze at.

Still, though, the Jays will have trouble breaking the 2 million mark this year if we don't get more enthuiasm in the Dome. Obviously the slow start will really make it difficult to generate that enthuiasm, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

In Houston they sing the Ole Ole Ole Ole song, except they use Yao Ming's name instead. Could that be turned into something for the Jays?

Ver-Nen, Ver-Nen, Ver-Nen. I like it!

The song thing is a good idea, but there's a fine line there. The White Sox play:
"ooooohhhhh eeeee ohh....Maaaaagglio" everytime he's at bat.
It gets mighty annoying (although perhaps only because I'm not a Sox fan).

But they also play "Jose Jose Jose" (Valentin) for the Ole Ole Ole song like Houston does for Yao Ming, and it's pretty fun.

http://me.woot.net
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYY is an obvious one for use when a big strikeout or double play is in order.

CAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR-LOS (a la ARRRRR-GOS) might also be usable, but could be heard as derisive.

The Cat has been fired up lately. What can we do for the Cat?

I like the Vernon-Ole song.

Everyone should start Meowing.

Okay, that's lame.

Do you know that song "Jimmy Mack" by Martha & The Vandellas? Frankie Cat makes a good replacement for Jimmy Mack. Just have to change the chorus of:

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?

Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer just came on my Winamp, and "Aaaaaaaooooo, Living on a Prayer" translates nicely into "aaaaahhhhooooo, Frank Cat-a-la-not-to" It's just a great song too. It'd be a fun one to always cheer/have in your head at games.

It sure beats Calle Johanssen, anyways. ;)

If you want to change the lyrics of a song, check out RhymeZone. It's great for finding rhyming words.

So I want to change

"oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?"

to

"Oh Frankie Cat, [six syllables that rhyme with back]"

So I get stuff like track, whack, black, but even more impressive stuff like:

Oh Frankie Cat, Anxiety Attack
Oh Frankie Cat, The Angle of Attack
Oh Frankie Cat, A Political Hack

By the way, Doc, Jimmy Mack is one of my favourite songs in the whole wide world.

I love the song too.

Here's my final choice:

"Oh Frankie Cat, Hit Us a Monster Jack"

How about...to the tune of "Hound Dog"

You are such an O'Dog
pimpin all the time!

Oldies are good because they're sort of ingrained into the consciousness, y'know?

The only problem with songs with lyrics that aren't the player's name over and over again is that you have to teach the crowd the words somehow.

It'd be great to have a cheer/chant/whatever for every single player on the Jays. Once we get them all, we could even hand out sheets at the game telling fans who want to join us what the various chants/cheers are.

I'll print the sheets.

NFH, bing me over the sheets and I'll convert them to .pdf format and we can host them at Da Box for anyone who wants one to print off.

So far we've got:

O-Dog: OHHHHHHHH
Vernon: Ole Ole Ole song
Cat: Jimmy Mac / Livin on a Prayer

We should be able to do something with "Woody". Seems straightfoward.

I'll take you up on that, Craig.

Dunno if I'm sold on Jimmy Mack, but Livin' On a Prayer is just silly enough that it might work. Hard to get people in sync on that one!

No one would have thought, 11 years ago, that the Jays would have such attendance issues. As you know, daily sellouts were the norm. Even before the move to the dome, the numbers at Exhibition Stadium were excellent from 1984-1989. From what I remember, I believe they led the AL in attendance in '87.

So despite what some say, SkyDome isn't the issue.

The Gord Ash "reign of terror" destroyed this organization. Did he do anything right?

Finally, as much as I respect and admire J.P., it is time to do some modifications to this "Moneyball" style of baseball. I almost fell off my chair with happiness when I saw O'Dog's sac bunt last nite.

I know that Richard Griffin is not a favorite of Batters Box Nation, but I wonder how much of his Saturday's article is, indeed, true.

It is time for the Jays to become more aggressive. I love this team, and and really hurts to see this.

Dunno if I'm sold on Jimmy Mack, but Livin' On a Prayer is just silly enough that it might work. Hard to get people in sync on that one!

It'd be better if we had something more simple than either of those. Just something fun to do with the name, like Ver-Nen, Ver-Nen, Ver-Nen.

Maybe the best approach is to find songs we can rip off like Ole Ole Ole, then see what name fits best with them.

Perhaps a "Welcome to the Hotel Eric Hinske!" to Hotel California? I'm just trying to plug in guys names to anything...this one doesn't quite roll off the tongue that well. It's actually kinda hard to come up with these. Negative cheers for the opponents are way easier, but I'm not in college anymore, so this isn't the place for 'em.

I agree.

How about Nursery Rhyme songs?

To the tune of "The Theme From Rawhide"

Vernon Vernon Vernon
Vernon Vernon Vernon
Vernon Vernon Vernon
Rawhide!

(Or "Vernon!" if you prefer)

Blue Jays Cheer Guide v.0.1.

General Cheers:

1) "Go Jays Go!" Chanted repeatedly, whenever the Jays have runners on base. "Let's Go Blue Jays!" is a valid alternative.

2) Whenever a Jays pitcher has two strikes on a batter, a 'slow clap' is appropriate. This begins with a slow, rhythmic clap, speeding up as the pitcher prepares his pitch, reaching a peak speed just as the batter swings (and misses - strike 3!)

3) It is always appropriate to clap or sing along with the organ music, especially for the CHARGE! rally call.

4) ...

Player-Specific Cheers:

1) Orlando Hudson should be greeted and cheered with a prolonged OHHHHHHH!, for his nickname, O-Dog.

2) Roy "Doc" Halladay is a Cy Young award winner. Don't let them forget it. A chant of "Cy Young! Cy Young!" will let him know we know he's great.

3) Carlos Delgado, the best First Baseman in the league, deserves an MVP. He's sure Valuable to this team. Let him know what we think, chant "MVP! MVP!"

4) ...

Player Miscellany:

1) Reed Johnson can be cheered as "Sparky"
2) Frank Cattolonatto can be cheered as "Cat"
3) Greg Myers can be cheered as "Crash"
4) ...

Heckling:

If you feel comfortable heckling an opposing player, it's best to focus on a few specific players. Alternate between a mocking two-tone chant of their name (JEEEEE-ter, JEEEEEE-ter) and specific and creative heckles. Unoriginal heckles (You Suck!) will have little effect on vetran pros. Try to make a reference to a recent play the player has made. Also try giving horrible advice ("Steal Home!" "Steal Right Field!").

For more info, come visit www.bluejayscheerclub.com

To the tune of "Alouette"

Eric Hinske
Eric Eric Hinske
Eric Hinske
Eric Hinske Rocks

From what I remember, I believe they led the AL in attendance in '87.

Yep. The Jays have only finished worse than 10th overall in AL attendance 3 times in their history: 1981, 2002, and 2003 they finished 11th.

What player could be our Magglio Ordonez equivalent for:

The song thing is a good idea, but there's a fine line there. The White Sox play:
"ooooohhhhh eeeee ohh....Maaaaagglio" everytime he's at bat.

Always was a big Brian Seltzer/Stray Cats fan ... here's the Stray Cat Strut, Toronto style:

Look at that F-Cat hittin' line drives
Three-hundred hittin' lefty since he arrived
Not a gold-glover but we don't care
He hustles, and we fuss here in the Cat's lair

F-cat hits, the Jays at bat
Catalanotto, he's all that
Gets sliders thrown at him by the pitchers, man
But he gets his hits however he can

It's true that the best ideas originate in the bathroom. While I was there just now, I thought about the "Hey! Ho! Let's go!" opening to the Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop.

Er-ic Hinske!

I really like both Aaron and Craig's suggestion for Eric Hinske. We ought to use one of them for some other player.

Right on, Andrew! E-mail it to me when you've got it to a place you like and I'll stick it up on the site.

Craig, Rawhide is awesome.

Another one for Vernon Wells: everyone knows Rock and Roll part two even if they don't know the name of the song, because it is played at every sporting venue at least once a day.

Vernon We-ells, HEY! Vernon Wells, Vernon We-ells, HEY! Vernon Wells

Dave Berg is easy because he has two one-syllable names. We can give him Hey! Ho! Let's go:

Dave! Berg! Dave Berg!

What player could be our Magglio Ordonez equivalent for:

The song thing is a good idea, but there's a fine line there. The White Sox play:
"oo" everytime he's at bat.

O-Dog. Just "oooohhhhh eeeee ohh.... oooohhh-ooooohhh"

Aaron - no problem, I'll get it together, incorporating some input from this thread, then send you a draft. Maybe we could even post a full draft here for feedback before we print up 1000 copies and stand outside SkyDome giving them to passersby.

The Ole song would also work pretty well for Doc:
Cy Young Cy Young Cy Young, etc.

At this rate, we're going to have 8 songs for the O-Dog and none for Phelpsie, Woodward, or Reed. ;)

Another name we seem to have forgotten in our cheer making fun is Josh Phelps, having a one syllable first and last name. Perhaps he'd be a better choice than Dave Berg for the Ramones song. Josh! Phelps! Josh Phelps!

I also propose that the Rock and Roll Part 2 song be given to Kevin Cash, as Vernon already has a few cheers devoted to him. Kevin Caaa-ash... Kevin Cash!

To the tune of Louie Louie:

Woody Woody, oh-oh, Wood-ee Wood-ee

I like the Woody Woody suggestion. That's really good.

David's suggestions that Josh Phelps be used with Blitzkrieg Bop and Kevin Cash go with R&RP2 are really good as well. I nominate those. The OHHHHHHH is perfect for O-Dog, so he doesn't need another song. MVP for Carlos and Cy Young for Halladay work really well too.

Right on, David!

So, where are we at?

O-Dog: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Woody: Louie Louie
Josh: Blitzkrieg Bop
Eric: Alouette (will he take it as an insult, though?) He could be Rawhide:
Eric Eric Hinske
Eric Eric Hinske
Eric Eric Hinske, Hinske!
Kevin Cash: Rock and Roll Part 2
Vernon: ole song

Louie Louie for Woodward is pure gold, I think that may be my favourite of the bunch. Leigh and I will have to chant these along with you through our TV sets in Fredericton for moral support!

All you need is some away fans there who are singing for their team, the Jays take the lead and good old UK style get everyone going "Your not singing.....Your not singing Anymore!"

Guess you have to hear it for it to make sense.....

anyway

What player could be our Magglio Ordonez equivalent for ...

Carlos?

Oh eee oh, Delgaaado.

I like David Goodwin's suggestion that we do Rock and Roll Part 2 for Kevin Cash.

WARNING: THREAD HIJACK FOLLOWS...

Has anyone read Will Leitch's "Life as a Loser" columns? They're all really good, but one in particular struck a cord: "The Right Field Dad" might be the kind of fan I'd hate if I were cheering for the opposing team and I'd certainly consider him a loser anywhere else, but his kind play a valuable role at the ballpark. He's also the type of person far likelier to be found at Wrigley, Yankee Stadium or Fenway than at Skydome. COMN for the link.

"The Right Field Dad" might be the kind of fan I'd hate if I were cheering for the opposing team and I'd certainly consider him a loser anywhere else, but his kind play a valuable role at the ballpark.

I consider him a loser anywhere, triply so at the ballpark. His kind keep 80% of the other dads away. Baseball, for whatever reason, seems to attract these bozos in a way that hockey and basketball don't. Never figured out why.

good old UK style

Alex, how do the crowds know the words to all those great chants? It would be impossible to get North American fans up to that level of co-ordination. I miss the level of humour in the UK.

In Glasgow I saw this great advert for Becks: "You don't have to be Posh to swallow Becks".

and yet if he was cheering for the Jays at Skydome, trying his best to keep the decibel level up, I'd probably cheerfully ignore him...you obviously disagree :)

That article was a riot.

I'm all for insanity. I'm all for partisanship, noisy and unbridled. I'm all for screaming and yelling and acting the fool. I like crazy fans.

"YOUR DAD FUCKED US IN WATERGATE! YOUR DAD FUCKED US IN WATERGATE,YOU HOMO!"

a voice about 30 octaves below the one screaming about the size of Manny Ramirez's testicles

I draw the line, firmly, at this kind of BS. I hate that stuff. Heckling the opposition is good. Acting like a 12-year-old with potty mouth and an obsession with homosexuality is just awful.

Though insinuating that Trot Nixon is the son of Richard Nixon is hysterical.

For Phelps, how about a take-off of the Beatles Help!

Phelps!, I need somebody!
Phelps!, not just anybody!

Christopher's Phelps! should be instituted right now! I can see NfH (or some other BJCC rep) screaming out "I need somebody / not just anybody," with the rest of the crowd responding, "PHELPS!"

That one's definitely a keeper!

That's awesome. So then we can give Hey Ho Let's Go to Dave Berg again.

We got some work to do still, Bauxites.

Was 'Flash' by Queen ever a hit over here ?
If so it'd be good for Greg Myers -

Crash - AHAAAA!
King of the impossible!

I just wanted to mention, that I can hardly tolerate watching the Jays games anymore due to those annoying horns that you constantly hear in the background.

More than anything, they are just a painful reminder of how silent the Skydome is.

Crash, I love you, But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth

(I know the song, but I'm also probably Canada's biggest Freddie Mercury fan)

More than anything, they are just a painful reminder of how silent the Skydome is.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. I doubt you'd even be able to hear the horns if the Skydome had the average amount of crowd noise.

A big drum would be much cooler.. and I hear one is coming.

Gwyn, I love that song. Dunno if anyone would get it, though.

Sneeps, the whole reason you can hear them is because the Dome is quiet. So fix the problem -- show up and make noise -- or live with it.

The drum is cleared for the Boston series, starting May 13 (I think). I'll only be able to attend the first game, so I'll need someone else to organize the troops for the weekend.

Hank, I live too far away. :)

So option two is write some chants for us to drown out the horns. ;)

A few suggestions:

Ligtenburg: Light My Fire somehow?
de los Santos: O-E-O, VALERRR-I-O
Crash: I love that idea, and I was born in 1987, so I'm sure others would get the Queen reference.
Halladay: There must be some song with the words "The Doctor is here" in them, or "The Doctor will see you now."
Use The Beatles' Come Together after a walk: "Come to first base...right now...(player's name)"

Here's my idea for a chant:

MAKE SOME NOISE!!! MAKE SOME NOISE!!! MAKE SOME NOISE!!!

and so on...

Whenever we get a 2 strike count on an opposing player, start making as much noise as possible.

Whenever we have a rally going, start making as much noise as possible.

Whenever we make a sweet play, cheer loudly.

Whenever a pitcher on the other team is struggling, get on him.

and so on...

Use The Beatles' Come Together after a walk: "Come to first base...right now...(player's name)"

What we really need is the Walk Cheer. Requirements:

Four Fans
Four Signs
The Walk Cheer, which I think should be (moronically but effectively) "WALK-WALK-WALK-WALK-WALK..."

The four signs could be just the letters W, A, L, and K or if you want to be really fancy, those letters superimposed over a baseball.

The idea is that after ball one, the "W" fan stands up and cheers and holds up his sign.

After ball two, the "W" and "A" fans do the same.

After ball three, "W", "A", and "L" fans cheer. (Optional : do the Walk Cheer after Ball Three)

After ball four, everybody does the Walk Cheer and the "W", "A", "L", and "K" guys all hold up their signs and go nuts.

In Philly, the guys are even more sophisticated - they have a "walk dance". After ball four, they walk (get it) out to the aisle and do a little "walk dance".

And Sneeps, remember to thank Captain Obvious for those suggestions.

If I can get three other people to do it with me, I'll make the W-A-L-K boards.

NFH, I will HAPPILY do it when I am coming. I've wanted to do this for ages.

Problem is, as you know, my Dome days are a bit limited this year for personal reasons...

We'll shelve it for now, and haul it out once the Cheer Club starts getting good attendances. Sound right?

It's pathetic that I have to make obvious suggestions I know, but that's the way the fans of Toronto are.

I didn't know this was a creativity contest either Craig.

Sounds great.

I'm up for it next time I'm in TO.

RE: The walk dance in Philly. Do they do some kind of Walk like an Egyptian dance? Because that would be really too funny.

If they don't, we should. And if they do, we should. Way, way too funny.

I still think that make some noise is the best possible chant for the fans of Skydome to hear.

I've always like the episode of Seinfeld where George compares starting a relationship with getting a jingle stuck in your head.

Cooooo...STAN-ZA!

It's cheap, but short of anything else, it could work for

Delgado
Reed Johnson
Ted Lilly
Greg Myers
Batista

I know the SkyDome plays the Addams family theme quite a bit, and it often gets on my nerves, but it could be a natural tie in for either Chris Gomez or Terry Adams.

To quote a chant that was first used in a classic episode of the Simpsons, "WE LIKE ROY..WE LIKE ROY..."

...and is a discussion going to open up for heckling chants?

I LOVE the w-a-l-k thing. Great stuff. Here's a dumb one (but a catchy tune). Speier's name is pronounced like Spy-er, which made me think (for no apparent reason) of Inspector Gadget. And it fits-"Do do do do do Inspector Speier, do do do do do DOO DOOO." Hehe, it's funny to type. The Go-Go Gadget ______ lines would be innumerable.

Hey guys, long time no see.

Can I put a request in to ban talk of the league contracting the Jays?

It seems this kind of talk is a self-fulfilling prophesy (see: the Expos). I don't want to read it. I don't want to think it.

I love the idea of a "We Like Roy" chant. :)

Is the cheer club going to be down there tonight? The Dome will be silent.

No, Eddie, NOOOOOO!!!!

Thomas, tonight I will be resting my poor, roughed up pipes in front of the TV. I will, however, be showing up possibly for Wednesday and definitely for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I love the Inspector Gadget idea, the We Like Roy idea, and the Louie, Louie chants the best, but some other good ideas ahve been thrown out there too. Good work, boys!

Those songs will never catch on. We should concentrate on simpler things like ... clapping ... especially when there are two strikes and especially especially when there are 2 strikes, 2 outs.

I always hear people use OOHHHHH for delgaDOHHHHHHHHHHH!!! So, sorry o-dog fans, that one is taken.

as for : Roooooyyyy -- nop. I already hear: Let's Go Doc! Let's Go Doc! and I've heard "Dr. K" "Dr.K"

"Dr. K" -- Oh, I love that one. Put it To that Dr. Who tune: "

"Dr. Kaaayyy-hey, Dr. K!"

Not for Ligtenberg, but "Light My Fire" DOES work pretty well for:

Come on baby, Justin Speier ...

Those songs will never catch on.

Then we'll sing them ourselves, because they entertain us. Trust me, if we're having fun, others will see the fun and say "hey, that's fun", and they'll join in. Maybe they won't sing our songs. Maybe they'll make up a new chant, or start clapping, or clap in time with a song, or WHATEVER.

Of course, I think you're right that clapping can be the best cheer in terms of getting the crowd going...

I'd stay away from "Dr. K." The last stud Cy Young Award winner to go by that handle found a little thing called cocaine on his way (not) to Cooperstown.

At least with Tampa Bay, MLB has a legitimate argument about them needing a new stadium.

The point of the contraction gambit isn't to actually contract (its to get taxpayer funded stadia). Therefore, Selig knows that any pressure Congress might apply is going to melt away when they say - oh shucks - we're not going to contract.

There are 11 US-based minor league teams that would be axed if the Expos and Blue Jays were contracted. You're going to here from those states affected. In fact, one of the Pennsylvania REPS was up in arms at the prospect of Harrisburg losing their AA team.

Those songs will never catch on. We should concentrate on simpler things like ... clapping ... especially when there are two strikes and especially especially when there are 2 strikes, 2 outs.

I always hear people use OOHHHHH for delgaDOHHHHHHHHHHH!!! So, sorry o-dog fans, that one is taken.

as for : Roooooyyyy -- nop. I already hear: Let's Go Doc! Let's Go Doc! and I've heard "Dr. K" "Dr.K"

Davey, if someone wants to use OHHHH for Delgado, more power to them. Same with Let's Go Doc. I can't hear 'em, which means they are not succeeding. We have power in numbers.

As for clapping, we already do the slow clap religiously.

I like the OHHH for O-Dog, and I think it fits better than for Delgado. It's fun, and we're gonna do it.

Roy Hall-a-day matches the tune to Joy to the World nicely.
Maybe after each strikeout.

That's brilliant!

I was thinking about something silly we used to do. Okay, I lie, something silly that we still do: we try to sing along the words in the opening crawl of Star Wars to the theme music as the movie is playing. (It works especially well for Empire Strikes Back: It-was-a daaark tiiime for-the Rebellllllllion...)

Anyways, we could apply that to any music they play at the Dome: sing the name of the dooer-of-the-good-thing along to whatever celebration music they play.

Hey, Christopher, I finally got my head around your Costanza post! It's because I'm drinking coffee right now, I suppose.

ReeeeEEEEEEEED JOHNSON!

ReeeeEEEEEEEED JOHNSON!

There you go.
I've been tinkering with some complete Roy Halladay = Joy to the World lyrics, just playing around with the wording.

It-was-a daaark tiiime for-the Rebellllllllion...

I like that.

"Davey, if someone wants to use OHHHH for Delgado, more power to them. Same with Let's Go Doc. I can't hear 'em, which means they are not succeeding. We have power in numbers."

I hear them around the plate and on the 1st base side by Delgado. Where do you guys sit?

Ok, this is the way to go.

Heckle Magglio Ordonez, of the Cicago WHite Sox.
Its the best chant in Skydome history. When Magglio is in right, or at the plate, let forth the calls of MAGGGLLLLLLLLLLIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Its fun for the whole family.
A couple of friends and I did it last year to great success, as we heard on the television (yes, even over Rob Faulds)
Anyhow, we might do it on saturday. Try to sit in the rigthfield 100's (or anywhere really) it applies to all White Sox visits really.

The Odawg chant was a good idea too.

Upper deck, Davey, upper deck.

What about using the Queen song "We Will Rock You" and it's foot-stomping and clapping.

It could be used for:

"He will he will walk you" for some opposing pitcher who needs to be distracted and to remind the Jays hitters that patience is a virtue.

Or it could be also used as " We will we will rock you" to encourage a batter who's hitting well to "hit one out."

Maybe someone else might have some ideas for this "crowd noise maker."

This is what happens when you think of those Calle Johannsens:

Tune: Don't Worry, Be Happy (Bobby McFerrin)
When you need to put runs on the board,
Send up the player that's adored.
Don't worry, here's Carlos
When you need to get on base,
Find the player you can't replace,
Don't worry, here's Carlos!
Don't worry, here's Carlos now!

Tune: Let's Talk about Sex (Salt 'n' Pepa)
Let's talk about Ted Lilly
Let's talk about a K in three
Let's talk about all the innings
and the winning we will see.
Let's talk about Ted...

Tune: Itchy and Scratchy theme (The Simpsons)
They hit, they smash
They hit and smash and hit
hit hit hit
smash smash smash
The Wells and Delgado Show

Tune: Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Wang Chung)
Everybody: Greg Zaun's at bat!

Tune: YMCA (The Village People)
Young man, you had the Prospectus curse,
I said, young man, there's no need for a nurse.
I said, young man, you'll get lots of hits
that ball will fly out of the yard.
...
It's fun to play ball with J - O - S - H
It's fun to play ball with J - O - S - H

Tune: If you're happy and you know it
If you're Myers and you're due up, grab a bat!
If you're Myers and you're due up, grab a bat!
If you're Myers and you're due up,
If you're Myers and you're due up,
If you're Myers and you're due up, grab a bat!
...
This can be tailored for circumstances:
If you're Myers and its 3-0, take (a walk, that pitch, etc)
If you're Myers and you know it, (hit a double, send one out)!
If you're Myers and you're on first, steal a base!
If you're Myers and Roy's pitching, call the curve!

Oh, there are limitless opportunities with this one!

I think I'll stick to my day job :-)

So what chants *are* being used at the games by bauxites right now, that the crowds are joining in with?

Hey! Just came up with one.

Same tune as "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah":

Va-lerio de los San-tos,
Va-lerio de los San-tos.
Va-lerio de los San-tos,
And he will strike you out!
