In honor of National Pig Day, and with all due credit to Mr. Foxworthy…
You Might Be an IronPigs Fan if…
…You’ve already taken a red Sharpie to your 2012 magnet schedule, to adjust for the SWB “road” games.
…You’ve got a whole pile of hats, or,
If your one IronPigs hat looks like this:
…You’ve always got a Channel 69 koozie handy.
…You’ve imported the IronPigs home schedule into your calendar as “unavailable.”
…The IronPigs app is on the first page of your iPhone. Right next to the Bypass app and the MiLB app.
…You can finish this sentence: “Swing it like…”
…You DON’T refer to the 200 and 300-level at Coca Cola Park as “the upper deck.”
…You remember where you were when Michael Taylor hit for the cycle.
…You remember where you were when the IronPigs beat Pawtucket to clinch the first round of the Governor’s Cup playoffs in 2011.
…You remember what day it was when the IronPigs first posted a record above .500
…You remember when the mascots looked more like pigs and less like llamas.
…You can say “porking spaces” without laughing like Beavis.
…You’ve purchased an AM radio specifically to listen to 1230 or 1320.
…You remember oinKKKK.
…You’ve got IronPigs “art” hanging on the wall in your house.
…You’ve got an IronPigs yard sign. From last year.
…You’ve got an IronPigs media guide on your nightstand. From 2010.
…You know who Bill Butler is. And Jan Giejda.
…You’re always willing to help Tim Chorones sing a song…even if singing’s not your thing.
…You see Allied Personnel Services yard signs and instinctively stand up and remove your hat.
…You tell people that your bobblehead collection is “an investment.” Then you laugh hysterically.
…You know that National Pig Day is a real thing, and not just something the marketing department came up with.
…You’re pretty sure a strikeout ISN’T just like any other out.
…You know that, “HAMBONE IN THE LEAD” means he’s not going to win.

…You’re not sure how much education happens on “education day.”
…You know about the balloons and the bubbles.
…I say “Run, Richie, Run” and you know who I’m talking about.
…You’re pretty sure the name of the poem is “Tracy at the Bat.” And that the ending is wrong.
…You know that all the pretzels aren’t the same—and you know where to find the good ones.
…You know that the bunt sign often comes in from section 108, rather than the dugout.
…You don’t count on the sign in right field at Coca Cola Park to know what the lottery prize really is.
Can you think of more? Add them in the comments!

You know what an “Injured Valendia” is.
“…You can finish this sentence: “Swing it like…””
You phone has this as a ring tone!
Been really busy building business but have still been keeping up.
Great stuff Kram I’m still giggling like a school girl!
“You have custom made Nike IronPigs sneakers” (to debut on opening day)
“You yell out the window at the hitchhiker – Cuuutt on and Missed the Bus”
DiPro lives! LOL
I’ll be back soon….
You live for the cry, “ROAD TRIP!”
No matter where you sit at CCP, you can recognize Jimmie T yelling during the game, even though thousands of other fans are yelling, too.
You leave the ballpark only to find your car the victim of a hit-and-run driver — and chalk it up to “collateral damage.”
You always leave the Clubhouse Store frustrated because none of the T-shirts or sweatshirts or jackets you want to buy are available in Big-and-Tall sizes.
You get to the ballpark at 4:00 p.m. for a 7:35 p.m. game so your daughter can sell beer. And get there at 4:00 p.m. for a 7:35 p.m. game when she doesn’t work so you can avoid paying to park.
You know more IronPigs staff members than fans sitting in your section.
You’ve forgotten how stupid you thought the name “IronPigs” was 5 years ago when you first heard it.
You hate the Yankees even more now than before you started watching Minor League Baseball and the IronPigs.
I could go on and on, folks, but …
Thanks for the responses, everybody. They’re great!
Jim, I was just at the store and noticed a ton of big and tall stuff–maybe it’s not what you’re looking for, but I wanted to let you know that there were some new things available.
You have an IronPigs logo on your work table for as long as the franchise existed
You have a stuffed Hambone on you desk from last year.
You miss “ROAST BEEF” because “GRO CER IES” Just doesn’t sound the same.
You sit on the berm in a ballpark a thousand miles away and get weird looks from the people around you for yelling, “Gimme a K!” every time a Tulsa Drillers pitcher gets two strikes on an opposing batter.
You get even weirder looks when you utter the same phrase for no apparent reason after looking at your iPad and noticing the count on your IronPigs app.
You can’t leave the house during baseball season without your iPad in hand because you might miss a play.
You bought a subscription to MiLB.com just to watch Pigs games online.
You think of Noise Nation every time you hear “Cotton-Eyed Joe.”
You’d be more excited about spring break if it were three weeks later so you could spend it in Allentown.
