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 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."
