Just Look For The Three Ring Sign And Ask The Man For Ballantine (and Austin Kearns)


Purity, Body, Flavor were, of course, the famous "three rings" of Ballantine: "Make that three ring sign, Ask the man for Ballantine". ...
For Austin Kearns it was the three strike sign that he asked the ump man to ring up four times. That's why he's wearing the golden sombrero.

Who struck out 4 times yesterday
Kearns did it, let's all jeer
Another dumb pickup by our gm clown
Yeah Cashman did it, that horse's rear
For a player that depresses you
Here's the only thing to do
Just look for the 3 ring sign and ask that man for ballantine
....and tonight he got thrown out by a mile trying to stretch a hit

7 K's in his 8 AB's. He's worse than me.

As my childhood idol Ed Norton [the sewer worker, not the actor] would say "How many kearns are we wasting paying this bum?"
Money must be tight; we had to wait until the 15th to include a second bullpen lefty in our September call-ups.
