First a joke - why don't Americans chant at games? sing songs? Puritans. People so straight the english kicked them out. Second, and i'll really be happy if a fellow Seminole can back me up on this, i've been apart of a baseball cheering section! During the 2007 season I was an Animal. The Animals of Section B. I think we have even been voted college baseballs number one cheering section. Things we did...We had a bonafide songbook, with songs written for each team we played. The one about the Tennessee Volunteers talked about screwing family members. We had shirts. We hungup K's appropriately. During the top of the inning we would chant "K-Time" to various cadences. In the bottom of the inning we would stand up and start a slow clap, getting faster and faster eventually screaming if the pitcher took to long to throw the ball. We'd also chant "rag arm" and other things if we wanted to rattle him. And it worked, being such a small stadium at FSU...it was awesome. you could really SEE it working. One guy had a weird wind up so we started chanting "one, two, cha cha cha." He was gone one out later.We sang O 'Canada in the bottom of the fifth, every game. Why? Well, there are many stories...but in true baseball fashion the one i like is that the Animals sang it during the first at bat of a Canadian born player to make him feel at home...and he hit a grand slam. It became tradition then. So there definitely ARE cheering sections they're just....few and far between. I think to create one you just have to start DOING it. But then there's the problem of hitting on that magic, elusive and finnicky ratio of public support, media exposure, and consistency. All those factors have to be just right for things to catch on. I am sure I have no idea what you're talking about.... However, as a GATOR I've sung songs for both football in baseball. Football in particular we're always chanting something.

The rest of Europe is much better than this country. Very passionate fans, some great chants ect. That bottom one is brilliant. Lech Poznan are known for there turning backs and jumping together routine when they score. I personally would love to see something like this in American sport. An example of how it can be done, is Greek giants Panithanikos(Spellcheck) going to a basketball game. taking 20000 fans and making it epic. Imagine this at a Lakers game, ha After seeing this sentence....

Oh my lord, we've scored runs!!!!

Yayayayayayayayay!!!

Oh my gosh, I'm a zephyr!

Omar Infante is getting things done! I kinda like Minervini as announcer, but I'd like it if he stopped the pessimism.

OF ALL TIME??? I didn't realize this was for all time!!! Ok, so let's do this for real. 1997 as an 8 year old girl, I had a major crush on: And I think every female Marlins fan with eyes can all agree on this guy:

Coggie Blue Eyes: John Baker, before he became irrelevant:

Seriously, I need a break from this team. I'm super annoyed/sad. I wonder how they must feel (I hope terrible).

Hey guys, guess what? Lowe is no-hitting us so far. Hmmm, no hitter??? A no hitter??? NO HITTER LOWE IS THROWING ONE????

Come on Cousins, do something awesome. He has a better chance of making contact with McCann than he does of making contact with the ball. Oh, snap! Snap is the sound I don't want to think of in that situation ::shudders:: Lol, pun. Nice.

Yay, no runs...

Yay, no runs! Talking about our offense again? Lol, I'm celebrating the little things at the moment.

Yay, no runs!

I'm going on a hunger strike until the Marlins win. Nice knowing you sounds like a nice diet.

Can we please get passed second base! Wow sounds like my teen years ha just kidding My gif from the breakfast club applies here, lol.

WHY DID YOU CHASE THAT PITCH???? :'(

A baserunner, let's see if we can actually move him to 2nd Oh, we'll move him to second, but he'll never get to home (this thread is pretty debbie downer/ negative nancy tonight, huh).

Right Marlins!?! LOL JK these games suck. Even better! I'm jealous, I didn't have this one.

When was that one ever going to be used? haha Lol, apparently the need for any of my Breakfast Club gifs has never arisen in Marlinsbaseball.

Now that he grew up to be a psychic maybe he can tell us when this damn losing streak ends LOL, nice response!!!

Douchiest character in the film. I'm just posting gifs I've never had a use for. I'm getting sick of only posting crying and angry gifs.

Well, the game might be over now... Great minds!

Lol, game over guys. I'm out. (i'm only partly kidding)
