You could start doing quotes...
Santo- “THIS IS THE YEAR!”
I have discovered in twenty years of moving around a ball park, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats. ~Bill Veeck
Just google “baseball quote” and you can find numerous quotes. Even wonder off of baseball if you want… Or take some off the top of your head or something you just heard.

My favorite quote about baseball from a movie, with a little swearing:
Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

Maybe Al could pick a random poster
on BCB and look at their profile and pick out something interesting about them to use.
Example- BCB member love the ivy became a Cubs fan 30 years ago because of her love for Harry Caray’s voice. This might get people to put more info in their profiles as well. It’s nice to get a little background and feel for fellow BCBers.

You always hear when you’re other places of how the fans are really passionate about the Cubs and Chicago is and I never really knew until I got here. It’s unbelievable the volume we get.

Good pitching will beat good hitting any time, and vice versa. ~Bob Veale
Trying to sneak a pitch past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak a sunrise past a rooster. ~Attributed to both Joe Adcock and Curt Simmons
You can’t sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You’ve got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That’s why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver
This is a game to be savored, not gulped. There’s time to discuss everything between pitches or between innings. ~Bill Veeck
Why does everybody stand up and sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” when they’re already there? ~Larry Anderson
Don’t forget to swing hard, in case you hit the ball. ~Woodie Held

How about...
Let’s get some runs, because baseball in Chicago is a whole lot more exciting than baseball in Des Moines. I’m talking to YOU, Cedeno!

Dr Crawdad...a one note tuba...
Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...
When my last remains go flying over the left field wall, I'll bid the bleacher bums adieu,
And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue. --Steve Goodman
