Take Me Out to Ballgame

Immediately after shooting this video at a local baseball field, I picked up a few things at the grocery store. The chatty cashier asked me “oh, so you’re an Oakland A’s fan?” referring to my hat.

“Actually,” I told him, “I just finished recording a ukulele video for a baseball-themed challenge on Ukulele Underground. My choice of hat was for that purpose.”

It’s not easy to make a chatty supermarket clerk speechless, but he didn’t know how to respond to that.
Enjoy!

    Take two! Annnnnd….ACTION! (our hero Joko sliding into third) SAFE!

    I dare say your rendition is better than Harry Caray, and the A’s have faired much better in post season than his hapless Cubbies.

    I miss the Charley Finley days Gene Tenace, Sal Bando, Rollie Fingers, Blue Moon Odom… and even the Marge Schott shenanigans of the Reds. I am predicting A’s and Reds this year with the Reds winning game 7 on a walk off homer in the 11th inning by Jay Bruce. A towering shot to left field as he inside outs a fastball down and away on 3-2 with 2 outs and no one on… :mrgreen:

    Play Ball!
