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 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.

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

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

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

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)

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!

Had Mike Trout come and gone his rookie year, he would have been a fish in the pan.

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

Better than Berman
