In the National Post, John Lott chats with Meat Loaf, a visitor at last night's game. Turns out even J.P. is a fan, who can quote the famous Phil Rizzuto passage from memory.

"Senior year in high school," Ricciardi said as he shook hands with Meat Loaf yesterday. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light."

The singer's inning in the radio booth last night was delightful. Mike Wilner teased his broadcast partners by saying "anyone from 28 to 48 knows Mr. Loaf," but the venerable Tom Cheek quickly reminded listeners he was a former DJ who still knew his music. Cheek filled in the essential play-by-play while his guest, obviously a great fan, offered some entertaining commentary.

When Meat came out to throw the first pitch, my girlfriend and I stood and cheered, but, alas, no one else in section 106 shared our enthusiasm, not even the guy who kept asking Melvin Mora, "What up, pimp?" Sad times.

When he announced players over the P.A. during the fourth (or fifth?), we tried to get a MEAT-LOAF MEAT-LOAF chant going, but they weren't really into it up in the cheapies.

By the time it got to the bottom half of the inning and he started announcing the Jays, he was great. Sounded like he was having a blast.

Our second Batter's Box reference to Meat Loaf, rock's hormone-fuelled philosopher king.

You can't run away forever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start.

Word, Meat.
