St. Petersburg, Florida -- If you go to a Tampa Bay Rays game at Tropicana
Field you are sure to see and hear plenty of cowbells. But do you know how it
all started?

The tradition began 2 seasons ago when principal owner Stuart Sternberg
decided to play a popular Saturday Night Live skit on the Trop's video
screens featuring Christopher Walken as music producer Bruce Dickinson
insisting he needs more cowbell. The scene is a spoof of a VH1Behind the
Music segment on the rock band Blue Oyster Cult recording the song "The
Reaper."

Sternberg apparently loved the skit and thought it would be a hit with fans
too. Soon people started showing up at games with cowbells and the tradition
was born.

Ironically, Buck Dharma the lead guitarist and a singer for Blue Oyster Cult
lives in the Bay area and Friday he sat down with 10 Connects reporter
Preston Rudie to talk about the skit's popularity and the Rays.

And in case you didn't know, the Rays also have some cowbell guidelines.
According to the team, fans are only supposed to ring their cowbells when; a
Rays players reaches base or scores, when a Rays pitcher has 2 strikes on a
batter or whenever the scoreboard asks for more cowbell.
