if you had one and only one word to use in perpetuity by which to refer to the consequence of a batter smacking a ball over the outfield fence in fair territory, during a game of baseball, what would it be?

TACO

I'm gonna have to agree with Barry.

Solo HR = Taco
HR with one on base = Taco Grande
HR with two on = Taco Supreme
Grand slam HR = [Joining] Club Chalupa, Chimichanga, [Thinking] Outside the Bun (accompanied by the gong sound from Taco Bell because it's funny)

It's every fan's dream to do his or her part in introducing a new word to the baseball lexicon. Surely my life can never serve a higher purpose than this.

come to think of it, "fletcher" is a great suggestion

well, not baseball related, but on the subject of outrageous score calls, an all time favorite was lionel bienvenue of fox sportsnet. this fuckin guy must have been president of the sportscenter rejects club...i remember an english premier league game he was doing once where he said, i shit you not, "he surfs the net...goal dot com!"

i mean...seriously...the fuck?

is that any worse
than "he's logged on to the GONE
NETWORK" jesus christ

Linda Cohn still works
that shtick: "he's established con-
tact with the server"

precipitously.

I like "jack" i.e. "a three-run jack"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 10 June 2005 03:07 (twenty years ago)

round-tripper

― oops (Oops), Friday, 10 June 2005 03:13 (twenty years ago)

Both "jack" and "fletcher" sound perverted to me.
So naturally i love them - but taco is still #1. I've got some friends saying it.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 10 June 2005 03:38 (twenty years ago)

i prefer "jack" as a verb. um, a verb about hitting a home run.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 10 June 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

for verbs i like "crank" and "mash"
