Breakwood Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 For the Jays I guess you could add the hotel with rooms that look onto the field. And fairly recent addition was a ship's horn for every Jays home run. They say that the horn is from some famous ship that used to be based in Lake Ontario, but I have no more info about it.

BJBerthiaume Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The Twins have one gold seat in left center field where Kirby hit his legendary home run. Also, we play Beautiful Day by U2 after every win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueclad Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The Royals play the Beatles' version of "Kansas City" after every win; they play the Wilson Pickett version after every loss. For years, they played Chubby Checkers' "Limbo Rock" during the 7th inning stretch, but they've sadly moved to a sing-along of "Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks. Ugh.I don't know if you want to call that airport-quality Gates BBQ in the stands a tradition, either. Now, if it were Bryant's or Oklahoma Joe's, we'd have a different story.

We also sing Sweet Caroline once in a while, and my personal favorite Living on a Prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfiji Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Don't the D-backs pump in some kind of rattlesnake sound whenever there are 2 strikes?

Another one they still do is when a Home Run is hit into the swimming pool, the pool will shoot fountains from the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
