Brown. Black & Blue, Boners & Balks - The B thread

[frankbmd]

If you believe in devolution, this thread is for you. Fortunately this is a primarily a baseball forum. The range of topics touched upon so far have only one thing in common, the letter B. Therefore I liken the thread's current content to an episode of "Sesame Street" featuring the letter B. Specifically Episode 1845,

A few corrections to prior posts are i order. I suggest changing the following:

Switch-hitters shall henceforth be known as bi-sided hitters.
Ambidextrous pitchers can be referred to simply as bi-dextrous pitchers.
Dropped third strikes should be Bad Catcher Play or Catcher Boner if you prefer.

The thread will welcome all "B" related content: literary, audio and visual.

So instead of considering this thread as a 17 minute wipe out, sing along and let the B games begin

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street

Addendum: EK's post below has me worried. i admit that the reference to the B Song is a copy and paste, but not the Sesame Street song (I know it by heart).
