I'm just wanting to know if you guys have any favorite baseball terms.. I'm personally a fan of 'can of corn.' What are your favorites?

Personally a fan of "ducks on the pond", and "sumonthehighheat"...

Some other favorites:

Can of Corn. A high, easy-to-catch, fly ball hit to the outfield (also known as a Can of Peas).

Cup of Coffee. Refers to a brief stint in the major leagues. Example: “Catcher Crash Davis was in the majors with the Baltimore Orioles for a cup of coffee at the end of the 1983 season.”

Keystone Sack. Second base.

Mr. Splitee. A split-fingered fastball.

No Room at the Inn. Refers to a situation where the bases are loaded

Bush-Leaguer. A derogatory term used to identify a low quality, or second rate, ballplayer.

I like the ole "Chin Music". I heard it today at the Minford-Hunt. game

Backwards "K" strikeout lookin

is the 4 k's if a batter strikes out 4 times of if the pitcher throws for k's??

i always liked if the pitcher had a knuckleball and if the batter got hit.. then he got a knuckle sandwich

Grand Salami

Wearing the Collar

now we're getting some chatter!!

i also like the infamous 'twin killing'

Minford hit into a few of those against valley the other day

How about when you get a screamin liner: "T.H.T.H".........Too Hot To Handle

I personally like : "The game's in the refrigerator. The door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O's jiggling."

Ice cream coned.........ball caught on very tip of glove

I like "the heater". Or the "cheese" the "hot and stinky cheese". Also like, "Good wood".

Some more favorites are "gopher ball", "Bronx Cheer", "backdoor slider", "wheelhouse", "whiff", "high and tight", "bang-bang play", "hot corner", and "Mendoza Line". Just to name a few others for you.

BALTIMORE CHOP -A ground ball that hits in front of home plate (or off of it) and takes a large hop over the infielder's head.
