I am a big fan of waving the white towel from the dugout after an incoming broken bat. It cracks me up every time.

 
I'll probably get labeled a Commie ******* for this, but the "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch at Yankee stadium...gets me every time.

 
Fastest rising schtick...is the fans in the new expensive seats in the new Yankee stadium...oh I mean empty seats.

 
"It is hiiiiigh...it's is farrrrrrr....it is GOOOOOOOOOONE"

:lmao:

 
Brandon Webb's shoulder will never be hurt because he is a sinkerballer.

Dock Ellis was supposedly the guy. He is black, take it from me - black people don't do acid.

Good point. More likely to see a black guy ice skating with a malamute.

"I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me."

Though this may be the better schtick:
Attempting to hit every batter in the Cincinnati Reds lineup on May 1, 1974. In an effort to prove a point to teammates, Ellis hit Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, and Dan Driessen in the top of the first. The clean-up batter Tony Perez avoided Ellis' attempts, instead drawing a walk, and after two pitches aimed at the head of Johnny Bench, Ellis was removed from the game by manager Danny Murtaugh. Ellis' box score for the game reads: 0 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K.[5]

The rest of Ellis' career was marked with similar bizarre incidents. Prior to a game against the Reds in 1974, Ellis, angered by the Reds' swagger, announced, "We gonna get down. We gonna do the do. I'm going to hit these mother####ers." Ellis proceeded to hit the first three batters of the game. He attempted to hit the fourth batter, but missed on four consecutive pitches, walking in a run. He twice threw at the fifth batter's head before being removed by his manager. Ellis later admitted that he was on amphetamines for this game. This incident came a few years after Ellis had hit Reggie Jackson in the face in retaliation for Jackson's towering home run he hit off Ellis in the 1971 All Star Game.

This guy was a gem :goodposting: :lmao: :lol:

Ellis' memory of the fateful game is understandably fuzzy. In an interview, Ellis said: "I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the (catcher's glove), but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times.
