What happens at practices? (this as well)
And more!
Read on for all this info!
Dugout talk
What goes on in the dugout? Let's find out.
Well, most of all Hank (the Tank) is screaming all the time, and saying that Henry (H Bomb) is gonna crank a homer. We'll interview them later.
We sometimes talk about fantasy football, but we also tell jokes, and encourage each other.
Another thing you'll often hear is Karl's (Wyky) sister, Olive, yelling “Do better, Karl!”
(note: this includes practices and games.)
Henry (H-bomb): 9
Yanni (Ioannis): 8
Cal (Leprechaun): 0 (but I hit a couple where there was no fence!)
Harry (Frederick): 0 (but he did the same thing as Cal)
And so on.
I think the all time greatest sunflower seed flavors is Sizzlin' Bacon or Kansas City BBQ, Evangelos says.
However some players disagree, Wesley perhaps, says that his favorite is Sweet and Spicy.
You probably have no idea what the heck we are talking about so we are going to tell you what a sunflower seed is. A sunflower seed is a roasted well, sunflower seed, that is drenched with salt, and gives you a ton of protein. There are also different flavors, here are the top ten…
10. Original
9. Old Bay
8. Jalapeno
7. Ranch
6. Sour cream and onion
5. Taco supreme
4. Sweet & spicy
3. Sizzlin Bacon
2. Cracked pepper
1. Kansas CIty BBQ
