Default Let's Play a Sports Word Game
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!

Back in the fifties a sixth inning rain out gave the Indians an early win.

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!

Default A rule breaker variation ?
If young Ralph fell in Charlotte,

there wouldn’t be a finer shiner on a minor Kiner in Carolina.

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

If a former Dodgers second baseman picks up the latest Apple cell, we get the Steve Saxiphone.

The clubhouse pimp in San Diego ended his career during a “stormy” rain delay.

Frank- remember that old Lena Horne classic:

Don't know why
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
