Default Calling all you clever folk!

I've been laboring over finding a name for a new corporation I'm forming. I was hoping some of the clever people on here could help out. I thought it might be fun to use an obscure baseball term, name, nickname, basically anything referencing baseball. The corporate name is just used for legal documents and the general public will not be privy unless they really want to pry.

SO, i would love to hear what you got. If I use your name, you will win... Nothing! But, you can have the satisfaction of knowing you are one clever person.

Since it apparently involves legal fees and confidential information, why not

"High and Inside" ??

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.

Default Wow!!

What an awesome response!!! You guys are great, thank you for all the great suggestions. The only problem now is which one to choose. I'm leaning towards the baseball/food choices. A decision will be made on Sunday night. This is to much fun to read, we have to keep it going through the weekend.

Jeff,
The name of your Corporation could be " One Man In". I have always believed Shoeless Joe was not involved in the Black Sox scandal during the 1919 World series. (Based off his performance, which was stellar) We are all familiar with the baseball words "Eight Men Out", so why not swing the other way, put your support behind Joe in a clever, and a bit ironic way!? Would be especially a good idea if your Corporation is only you. (One Man...) Anyway... I came up with this idea while trying to figure out what to call my Fantasy team. I imagine a few in my fantasy league will get the play on words, and many gloss right over it, but that is ok. That's the point. Baseball, Shoeless Joe, One Man In. --- Joe should be in the Hall!
