MLB clubhouse etiquette

Chat up that day's starting pitcher before the game.

 

Or Skip. They really like that

 

Make sure you tell the guy he's on your fantasy team.

 

Be sure to ask every player for an autograph. Ignore what it says on your press pass. Everybody does it.

 

Hit every Cardinal in the knee with their own bat. As hard as you can. It's a St. Louis tradition.

 

Help yourself to bubblegum, sunflower seeds and the clubhouse buffet?

 

Don't use the trash cans as spitters (on a serious note). I was told it was "highly inappropriate" by a PR guy.

Local NFL team never seemed to care, so I didn't think twice about it.

 

"C'mon you can tell me the truth. You did steroids, right?"

 

Chew tobacco, and then hock a big brown loogie right in the middle of the team logo on the carpet.

 

But understand that most guys won't remember that you asked. Unless it involves money or poontang, they don't remember much.

 

True, it was like 50-50 on people actually remembering.

 

If your request is important enough to schedule a 1 on 1, talk to the media relations rep. If they're good, they'll remind the player.
