OK so I went to a playoff game last night, and it was the first high school game I've seen all year. When I got home, I had to take an advil after listening to all the cowbells being shook up in the stands. When I was playing back in 05, the cowbell thing was just taking off, but only a couple of teams do it. Is it a prevalent annoyance now-a-days or is it still just a few select teams?
Also, what is the deal? Is the torturous sound of metal on metal coming from the bleachers supposed to make the hitter strike-out or add a couple mph to the fastball? After a couple of years away from high school baseball I'm still trying to sort out the mysteries of this science. Your thoughts...
