I took one of my closest friends to a Giants/Dogs baseball game in 2002 at Pacific Bell Park. David is English, and just learning the game of beisbol. He asked a lot of questions, which made it fun for me, and was soaking it all in.
In the 2nd or 3rd inning, Schmidt got one of the Dodgers to hit into a double play. I turned to David and said, "that's a double play, and it's also called 'a pitcher's best friend'" and he nodded seriously.
The 7th inning comes and another Dodger hits into a double-play. By this time, the people in the stands near us know David's been learning the game, and have been ribbing himm and quizzing him.
I turn to David and say, "that play?? What's it also called??" Without missing a beat, he loudly proclaims "a pitcher's favorite whore!"
He Balked!
It's a dribbler down first
Lost it in the lights
Touch them all
Moment in the sun
Field of Dreams (I know, it's taken already, but if you think of it in a "plowing" sense... ok, nevermind)
Glad He's not on Steroids (with one of those cheesey covers you linked to earlier, his backside, looking through his legs and seeing a pleased look on her face)
Oh god, tell me your not doing a football book. Listening to Madden talk on gameday is enough to make me snicker like a 12 y.o. for half the game.
All I can think of is stuff like "From Way Downtown, Bang!" Which, okay, wrong sport, and graphic besides.(Well, in this context, maybe)
LOVE the baseball talk. Ummmmm, baseball.
ION, chores are bad for your (or at least my) health. I was cleaning out the refrigerator and stood up quicking, crashing my head into the freezer handle. There was blood and now it feels like I have an ostrich egg on my forehead. Of course, I'm not done with the fridge, but oh well.

At the SF2F, Suzi got us tickets to the A's game, and Fay went along; it was obviously her first (and possibly will be her only) baseball game. I remember Hec explaining it to her in terms of LoTR characters.
Throwing Heat
In the Hole (Yeah, that brings to mind the Labia Dress again)
On the Hill
Hot Corner
Flight of the Enchanted Tater
This is beyond beautiful and while I might not be able to use it as a title, rest assured, I'm going to find a way to work it into the manuscript.
Paradise By the Dashboard Lights
What? It's a song about baseball....
