Last night I was watching the Pirates/Diamonbacks game on MLB.TV and was surprised to see a large white Steal Your Face with Eric Byrnes' #22 in the middle hoisted up by a fan when Byrnes came up to bat. (I tried to get screenshot but was too slow on the draw.) Being a longtime Deadhead myself (I have a Steal Your Face design tattooed on my right arm), I quickly did some searches on Google to find out more about Byrnes' connection to the Dead. As it turns out, Byrnes' at-bat intro music is a Grateful Dead tune, and apparently he likes to listen to the Dead to get warmed up for games. Cool! Can anyone tell me what Dead song is Byrnes' intro? And, cheers to the Deadhead/Byrneshead in Phoenix! You gave me a wide smile!
- Does Ron Washington know he shares a birthday with the Philly Phanatic? #SNB
- Love listening to @lenandbob, but how about a bit more excitement from the booth when the #Cubs score?
- @TwinsSect119Guy Between inning silence is golden, you'll be missing it when #mlbtv adds more and more commercials as the season goes on.
Touch of Grey
Byrnes STILL hasn't touched home plate since the playoff game 'Tec blocked the plate!
I just saw him tonight on the MLB Channel on MLB tonight and he was wearing a J. Garcia tie.
I take it you're watching the SF Giants Garcia Tribute game, Jeff? Me too
