Let's Play a Sports Word Game

[barrysloate]

Okay, I made up this little game that entails coming up with clever puns about sports figures. Rather than explain it, I'll offer three examples:

If Andrew Luck went to Notre Dame he would be...Luck of the Irish.

If Cy Young went to the bullpen he would be...a Cy of relief.

If Justin Smoak went water-skiing, he would be...Smoak on the water.

See, isn't that fun and easy? Come up with a few of your own, and amaze your friends!

That's a variation of the game but perfectly acceptable.

If Mickey Mantle wore a toupee, it would be...a Mantle piece.

If Frank White hit a bloop fly to a fielder, it would be....wait for it.....a White Out!

See what I did!!!!

Adding to the uniqueness of the pun, Frank White is an African American!

Clever and topical at the same time.

If Stan the Man ordered new dining table seating, the order would be tagged as Musial ( musical ) Chairs.

I believe you and I are the only ones playing Doc.

And if either Sam or Jim were playing in the mid 60's, there might exist a Rice Peel-off

Hi Judd- very impressive!

[judsonhamlin]

Let me try one more to keep this going-

If a more recent Tigers outfielder decided to emulate Ty Cobb and assault a fan in the stands, and got arrested it would be a

Charged AlKaline battery.

Boos welcome

[barrysloate]

More like whews. But at least you're investing time in this.

If Enos Slaughter studied architecture, he might build...a Slaughter house.

[Paul S]

If Ten Million shopped at the Dollar Store, he would have to change his name to Nine Million Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine Thousand. (maybe even less than that if he bought a taxable item)

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

If a Jamiacan man who liked folk music had run into Denton Young and a forebear of Braves great, Ralph, he might say "It's that famous singing duo Cy mon, and Garr's Uncle!

If Yeonis Cespedes could be infinitely cloned, we could have Cespedes for the rest of us.

If Zach Wheat grew up on a farm, he may very well have made Cream of Wheat

[barrysloate]

If "Pud" Galvin was taken out of a game, his manager would be...pulling his Pud.

Whew!

If Darryl Strawberry had a taste for something sweet after dinner, he might order some Strawberry shortcake.

There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy Daniels...

(the actual song was of course "Stormy Weather")

There's some very creative ones folks, keep em comin'

The only “action” for me, Barry, is playing Stormy “Weather on my horn(e) whilst drinking (Jack)” Daniels.

Better than Berman
