Hip Hop Ode to the Double
While much of the blog-o-verse is going nutty over the new “Heizman on Dat Ho” dance, another celebratory boogie is being overlooked. The video below was shot by four upstanding youngsters, and depicts their ballerinesque tribute to one of baseball’s most overlooked joys: the double. The song and dance, aptly named “Tea Bag Dat Ho!!!” references the two-base hit in the most reverential way possible. “T bag” obviously refers to “two bag”, meaning the runner takes two bases on one mighty stroke, and “dat ho” is most likely their preference for doubles to be hit in one’s own park, i.e., “please hit that double into the gap on a pitch thrown on your home field, sir.” And although the sound quality on the short film is only slightly better than a crica 1992 cell phone, one can clearly hear the angelic voices singing about “balls,” surely those they would love to see lined into left-center. I expect to see these four young lads at more than a few MLB and little league games come spring, and I can’t wait to hear their take on “DP,” or double play for those unfamiliar with baseball lingo.
