Sports terms that have fallen out of favor in the last 60 years

Wouldn't that be "Deuces Wild"?

And I think there's a debate over whether it's "twi-night doubleheader" or "twilight doubleheader."

They don't seem to make as many "dog" references in regard to blitzes as they used to.

 

Don't tell vin scully it has fallen out of favor ...

 

Grew up to Vin saying that. But I could never tell if he was saying "Deuce is wild or deuces wild" ...

 

About to say ...

And when I played ball -- I ain't that old -- somebody in the dugout would mention "deuces wild" every time it was a 2-2 count with 2 outs.

 

Oh, hell yes.

 

Only if George Hackenschmidt or Frank Gotch are on the card.

 

Yes to both.

 

Fail, and fail.

 

Many,many years ago I covered some minor league games with a guy who invariably referred to runners at first and third as "ducks on the pond."

A lazy infield popup was a "can of corn."

 

I hear people in all walks say those phrases at every game.

 

I just read duck hunters refered to as "nimrods." I'm stealing that one.
