Joe Maddon makes Rays lineup '867-5309' to honor Tommy Tutone's 'Jenny'
Tommy Tutone, you probably don't know Joe Maddon, but you make him so happy.
Maddon, the manager of the Tampa Bay Rays who is known for trying thoughtful
gimmicks that might break up the monotony of the long Major League Baseball
season, has turned to '80s pop music in order to give his lineup a fresh look.
His batting order Thursday against the Detroit Tigers is patterned after
Tutone's "867-5309/Jenny" singles-bar anthem, a No. 1 hit in 1982 that's still
an earwig to this day.
I know you think it's like the other Rays lineups before — most of them have
not been good, and they rank in the lower third in runs scored in the league.
But perhaps this one will have a certain ring to it and they'll score against
Max Scherzer and friends in Motown.
In baseball, players are assigned numbers based on their defensive position.
"1" is the pitcher, "2" is the catcher, "3" is the first baseman, "4" is the
second baseman, "5" is the third baseman and "6" is the shortstop. The
outfielders, from left to right, are "7-8-9." The designated hitter doesn't get
a number (he doesn't play defense!) so "0" works for him. Here's how it plays
out on Maddon's lineup card:
Maddon also should say that he wanted to try this lineup already, but he had
lost his nerve until now. He certainly has a disturbed imagination, too.
Of course, it's easy to pick nits by saying that Maddon's 867-5309 theme only
has seven numbers and a baseball lineup has nine (10 including the pitcher in
American League games). So while it's clever and awesome and even radical,
dude, it's incomplete by two and not sustainable for victory. He's leaving out
the catcher and the second baseman. But who's ever heard of a hit song that
goes "867-5309-24"? You might connect with Uganda by dialing that. It also
could be a typical White Sox rundown. No thank

註 867-5309/Jenny是1982年 排行榜第一名的金曲

這傢伙
在他的生涯中 有機會成為不錯的邊角內野手
但須克服脆弱的身體 避免成為DL常客
他仍有空間提升他平庸的打擊爆發力
但仍舊無法造成全壘打威脅
