The Insider
- Top 20 Things for the Baseball Fan to do this Summer -

Buy a baseball cap.  If you don't want to shell out the money, steal Chad Krueter's hat and you might be able to get a bunch of Dodgers suspended while you're at it.....

Buy Atlanta Braves season tickets for next year.  That way, you'll be guaranteed discounts for playoff games for being a season ticket holder for a team that makes the playoffs.....

Dress up as a security guard.  Then, look for a good seat in the house and tell the occupant that "Security needs this seat".....

Call a bank in Arizona and tell them you're Jerry Colangelo.  Make sure they approve your $30 million dollar loan before they find out who you really are.....

Call your local sports radio station and pretend to be the player that they're bashing.....

If you go to a Marlins game, remind Luis Castillo how many RBI's he has.....

If you go to a Rockies home game, remind the players that the only reason they aren't the Brewers is because of Coor's Field!  Maybe developers should have built Miller Park on the top of a mountain.....

Ask a friend to help you smuggle food into the stadium.  Bring a big bag and act as a decoy while your friend slips in quickly behind you with the goods.....

When a team has run out of pitchers, ask the manager if you can pitch.  Then you can be the first fan to record a major league win (or loss).....

Offer to buy the Montreal Expos for $1 (Canadian dollars).....

If you win your fantasy baseball league, you'll have bragging rights for 6 months.  If you come in dead last, just tell your fellow owners that you would have won if McGwire, Mussina, Reynolds, Lima, Shaw, Wagner, Biggio, Daal, Beltran.....had performed as expected.....

Make it your personal request to have "Days on the DL" a new category for your fantasy league.....

Find a tape of this year's All-Star Game and attempt to score the game on a scorecard.  First 100 people who can do it accurately will get a free case of aspirin.....

Have a post-season party.  Make sure to charge the same amount for food and beer as they do at the ballpark.....

Secretly hope that Ken Hill doesn't latch on to your favorite team.....

If the Braves and Mariners meet in the World Series, make sure to ask Rickey Henderson and Bobby Bonilla if they would care to join you in a game of cards.....

Dress up in rags and tell everyone you see that you can see the future.  Then proceed to tell all that  the Milwaukee Brewers will win it all in '01.....

Tell all your friends to read "Behind the Plate" at Hyperbaseball.com or to visit my website at www.geocities.com/ritchie_hok.....

Find the answer to this trivia question : Who is the only player in major league history to drive in 100 runs with only 111 hits?

Write to your local stadium and ask them to introduce (or in some cases, re-introduce) "10 cent beer night".....
