sdoyle7798 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 So I was playing a game against Pittsburgh, and when Albert Pujols came to bat, the Pirate fans began an "AL-BERT, AL-BERT" chant, exactly like the St. Louis fans would do at home. Has anyone ever had something like that happen in their game, where teh other teams fans chant for your players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaplerisking Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Haha, no, that is quite strange. Usually they chant "over-rated!" Maybe the game engine somehow got confused and thought Pujols was playing for the Pirates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLegend Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 It was fans of the Dodgers who gave him his nickname. After several fine hitting performances at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn fans would see him come to bat, and say, "Uh-oh, here comes that man again. That man is back!" St. Louis sportswriter Bob Broeg picked up on this, and Musial was "Stan the Man" from that point on. Maybe it was something like that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myztery Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Maybe they all have him on their fantasy team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaplerisking Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Or maybe they've realized the Pirates haven't been good in nearly 20 years and probably won't be for another 20, so they've chosen a new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Well last season the Yankees were playing the Nationals and Bernie hit a go ahead-HR in the ninth inning, and the fans wanted a curtain call, but they were at RFK! And I recall two or three years ago during a Yankee-Jays game and the Yankees batted around the order in the eighth or ninth inning, and the whole crowd was chanting "Let's go Yankees!."

medric822 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 You want to hear something just as odd? In my owner mode, I'm the Yankees, and when Manny comes to bat for Boston, they chant "Manny! Manny!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timp Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 You want to hear something just as odd? In my owner mode, I'm the Yankees, and when Manny comes to bat for Boston, they chant "Manny! Manny!" I would've maxed out my ticket prices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medric822 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yeah, Jeter is a popular chant. I had that chant for him when he wasn't even playing, he was on the DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwinginSoriano Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 The game sometimes has road fans doing the chant. I had Big Hurt and Vernon getting cheers across the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowingsgo8803 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yeah, I had the same thing. I'm a fantasy-Jays team with Pujols, and the other day, I was playing in Oakland, and the same chant was clearly audible during his at bat. Weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
