Back in the good old days, everyone kept an ear of corn in their pants. It was the style at the time.

That song was actually sung by the English to make fun of American “dandy’s” and their fashion sense in pre-revolutionary times.

u/One80sKid Los Angeles Dodgers 17d ago
And the National Anthem was a drinking song about "To Anacreon in Heaven". Like I said wild times.
(Macaroni meant cool back then because it meant you were emulating Italian style)

Didn't the revolution soldiers begin mockingly singing it back at them as they began winning the war?

u/FrostyD7 St. Louis Cardinals 16d ago
They didn't have any flint corn, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

I’ve always loved Giancarlo. There’s something abt a guy who just homers and strikes out

I love his swing. It’s like watching video with half the frames missing he’s so fast.

Damn, I could really go for some Iowa sweet corn now.

u/Basic_Bichette Toronto Blue Jays 17d ago
That's not sweet corn - fortunately, because there's no better laxative in existence than raw sweet corn.

u/Amiguinho-Gringo Seattle Mariners 17d ago
People used to use corn cobs to clean their ass. Fun fact.

u/FoldUpBigFoot41 Boston Red Sox 17d ago
Maybe that's why he grabbed it

He'll be seen snacking on it in the 7th inning.

No joke... sweet corn picked right off the stalk is absolutely delicious.

If it was sweet corn.. that field is not sweet corn tho, not going to have a good time snacking onnthat cob.

City folk here: is that true? I didn't think you could eat it like that.

Sweet corn yes other corn no

u/TUNNNNA Washington Nationals 17d ago
I’d laugh so hard when the city people from Northern VA would come pick and eat the damn cow corn from my farm

u/rapper_warrior_ninja Oakland Athletics 17d ago
tell me more of this "cow corn"
15
u/GeeseHateMe Toronto Blue Jays 17d ago
That’s most of the corn, at least in the midwest. Just feed corn for cattle and what not.

u/anaxcepheus32 16d ago
It’s commonly called field corn, and I believe the most common in the Us is dent corn.

u/Basic_Bichette Toronto Blue Jays 16d ago
And yet field corn is by far the most common corn food crop in Mexico! That doesn't even include masa, which is nearly always made from field corn.
7
u/NakedGoose St. Louis Cardinals 17d ago
It's actually healthier to eat raw corn. But yes, make sure it's sweet corn and not feed corn.

u/JayKomis Minnesota Twins 17d ago edited 16d ago
If you are this type of corn you’d tear your asshole apart. It’s so incredibly starchy that your body wouldn’t digest it.
This type of corn is fed to cows raw. Cows have 4 stomachs which helps digest the starches. They still shit some of it out undigested. Humans can eat it after it’s milled into cornmeal. You can make corn bread or tortilla chips basically.

TBF, their jerseys haven't changed that much in the last 100 years.

u/skeletorbilly Los Angeles Dodgers 17d ago
Same with us. That's why it's so hard to have a throwback night or an alternate.

u/BroadwayBully New York Yankees 17d ago
Slight differences, non Yankee fans wouldn’t really notice tbh

u/R3NTAR New York Yankees 17d ago
The numbers are different for sure. Big and boxy

u/BroadwayBully New York Yankees 17d ago
The logo on the hat is bigger, and the letters on the front of the jersey too. It’s slight tho, the proportions are off and it’s kinda bothering me lol

If I were playing in this game I’d go out to the corn and start munchin
4
u/tmart14 Atlanta Braves 17d ago
You wouldn’t munch much. That’s field corn (fed to livestock) not sweet corn (fed to humans). It is a lot tougher I believe.
Also gotta boil it first, which I would like to watch a player do in the outfield.
4
u/digbickjoannie St. Louis Cardinals 17d ago
You actually don’t have to boil sweet corn before eating it. Still good but not as good. Feed corn you would absolutely have to boil first and even then it’s disgusting
