TEAM Toronto Blue Jays

BRIEF SUMMARY Chant for Jose Bautista

FULL DESCRIPTION Like the "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole" chant heard in soccer matches or Montreal canadien hockey game, excpet with "Jose" replacing "Ole" Here's a crappy upper deck video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmiqPy7cQ2o

I hope these get in more frequently than the homer run celebrations that were asked for last year, I know none of the Blue Jays crazy ones got in. This year is the year of the Blue Jay "Lo Viste", maybe that gets in?

TEAM - Chicago White Sox
BRIEF SUMMARY - "Blackout Game"
FULL DESCRIPTION (Add photos or a link if needed) - http://www.complex.com/sports/2012/04/the-25-greatest-moments-in-chicago-white-sox-history/play-in
In 2008 when the white sox played the twins in the 163rd game of the season, a playoff for the division, Kenny Williams had every single fan dress in all black and it looked incredible. I also remember an interview with Kenny Williams (the GM at the time) where he said when they make the playoffs next he's going to do it again, but i can't find the link for it. So probably make it a playoff thing.

TEAM - All Teams
BRIEF SUMMARY - Booing on pick-off attempts
FULL DESCRIPTION - I noticed in the game if the away pitcher throws a pick off attempt the home crowd cheers when the runner gets back in safely and if the home team throws one the crowd boos because of the runner getting back. In real life its the opposite. The crowd boos every single pick off attempt by the away team and they just stay pretty much dead silent when the home team attempts a pick off.

Re: List of stadium specific crowd rituals, crowd sections, music, etc.

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but is crowd related so I thought it might fit.

TEAM - All teams
BRIEF SUMMARY - Fans catching foul balls
FULL DESCRIPTION - It would be great and look better if fans actually caught some of the foul balls or home runs.

I think some cut scenes would be cool.
Fans catching and cheering, spilling popcorn, catching a ball in their beer and chugging...things like that.

TEAM - Texas Rangers
BRIEF SUMMARY - Seventh Inning Stretch
FULL DESCRIPTION - The team plays "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" before playing "Cotton Eyed Joe." And not that crappy Rednex version either; something more like Asleep at the Wheel (or generic as I'm sure SCEA will wisely do)

TEAM - Texas Rangers
BRIEF SUMMARY - Taco Time in Texas
FULL DESCRIPTION - During the fifth inning, Chuck Morgan announces that "If the Rangers score a run during the fifth inning, every fan in the Ballpark will receive a coupon for a free taco, from Taco Bueno. Now everybody on your feet as we sing Deep in the Heart of Texas." The fiddle or organ version usually plays after this.

TEAM - Texas Rangers
BRIEF SUMMARY - Middle of the Sixth
FULL DESCRIPTION - The William Tell Overture plays as the "Ozarka Dot Race" takes place. The dots enter from the left field gate and finish right near the camera well. The Dots look like this:

TEAM - Texas Rangers
BRIEF SUMMARY - Street Squad
FULL DESCRIPTION - The Rangers have one of the best streets squads in Baseball in the "Rangers Six Shooters." They slingshot shirts in the stand before the game, dance on the dugouts during Cotton Eyed Joe, and are general ambassadors for the team. They look like this.



EDIT:

Speaking of Chuck Morgan, can we get him to do the PA for the game as he did with All Star Baseball 2004 and 2005?

Please this! Bob Sheppard was a NyQuil drone compared to the greatness of Chuck Morgan.

Re: List of stadium specific crowd rituals, crowd sections, music, etc.

TEAM: Cincy Reds

Summary Fans in the seats screaming/howling "wooooo!"

Description: In the late innings the crowds began to "hooo!" & "woo!"

Please no!!! I can't deal with this, bad enough to have to hear this in real life, can't handle this in the game. It's a drunken fad so no need to add to the game.

Re: MLB 14 List of stadium specific crowd rituals, crowd sections, music, etc.

TEAM - Chicago Cubs

BRIEF SUMMARY - At Wrigley Field, during the 7th inning stretch Take Me Out to the Ballgame is sung by a guest conductor.

FULL DESCRIPTION - A different celebrity personage, especially those from the Chicago area, is invited every day to guest conduct the 7th inning stretch Take Me Out to the Ballgame song. It would be cool to have likenesses of the usual characters such as Jeremy Piven, Joe Mantegna, Eddie Vedder, Mike Ditka, Vince Vaughn, Bill Murray, John Cusack, Ernie Banks, Stacey King and local athletes such as Patrick Kane, Kirk Hinrich, Jonathan Toews, Brian Urlacher, and Matt Forte in the game singing to the song. And, of course, at the end of the song, the camera should cut away to the Harry Caray sign (pic below)!
