AT MY MOTHER'S EXPENSE!!!

[The Greeter]

Ahh, my "Greeter" reputation continues it seems <ROTFL>.

Not sure this goes into the glossary, but we also have a ritual involving the song at the beginning of an RBI game.  Not sure how best to describe it:  Music starts, and goes through three "stanzas", followed by a quick pause, and then the main song plays.  At the quick pause, we require a high five timed with the pause between the sections.  To not do the high five is considered seriously taboo, like breaking a chain letter (!).

NW Suburbs = Lake Zurich.  Local RBI'ers, anyone?

BTW - New Glarus brewery, awesome.  Got to cross the border into WI to buy it, but worth the trip.

Added Knoblauch to the Tettleton definition as an alternate term....

I like to use the Tettleton with powerful righties that I'm slumping with.  Though you have to make sure the bases are empty, because the Tettleton hits are much m ore ground-ball prone...

My best Tettleton moment was when I hit one with Davidson.  It was the first dinger I ever got with him, off Potsie of course...

We just called it "the stance."  I don't know if its a bias of seeing Dwight Evans so many times on WSBK in the 1980s, but the stance kind of reminds me/us of him.

I just said "cocked bat".  As in "I hit it with the cocked bat"  Mainly because I pretend my bat is a cock

Isn't Zorba in Lake Zurich?  Don't think he plays RBI though.
