I want to be a great pro baseball player. …so great that each time that I walk to the plate to bat, everyone has to listen to Paradise by the Dashboard Light in it’s entirety. Not just some lame clip… …the entire 8 1/2 minutes. And that’s for every time I step up to the plate. - ThreadSky

…the entire 8 1/2 minutes.

I also want to do this, but with Bury The Light. All 9:40 of it, complete with pyrotechnics... and the plastic chair.

Before the pitch clock that would’ve been entirely possible!

You're going to lead the league in getting beaned.

Modern version of Caesar’s Corona Civica (oak leaf crown) that required even his enemies to stand and applaud whenever he entered the Senate or other public function.

Hell even between pitches

Nice! Even if I struck out, I’d be up for at least 25.5 minutes!!!

Preferable to the contemporary Christian I keep having to hear at minor league games, imo

I murdered this song with my wife at karaoke. All 8 1/2 minutes. Glorious

Do we have to stand in a circle with all the other white kids and sing along?

if you get REAL good you can switch to the unedited version of Inna Gadda Da Vita

Just ignore that little baseball interlude where the dude gets stopped short of home plate. Don't let it get you down, you'll do great!

They'll call it the Brak Break!

I definitely would have been late for the Broadway play if you had been batting at the As @ Mets game I was at last August, which already ran long.

I was doing some roadie work, corporate gig. End of show dance going on, that song started. This old guy goes “That’s the song the DJ plays so he can use the bathroom.”
Just then, the DJ burst into the service hallway, asking where the can was. 🤣
