Revisiting this again as I noticed a post on Twitter from @CLBClippers (The Official Twitter of the 2010 & 2011 Triple-A National Champion Baseball Affiliate of the Cleveland Indians.)
“Clippers cowbells are everywhere! #ringyourbell http://twitpic.com/8yyiu7”
As we know, the Clippers defeated our beloved IronPigs in the Governor’s Cup Finals last season before going on to win the Triple A National Championship but they also won the 2010 Triple A National Championship as well!
Back to back, double up, whatever you want to call it… the Clippers have won two championships in consecutive years. In these days of trades, transactions, injuries and that looming control from the parent club above it is quite an achievement to be so successful.
My, not-so-educated guess, would be they have something extra. Something that tips the scales in their favor. Beyond having a highly motivated and talented team. Beyond having an average of 8,704 fans at each home game. They’ve got something extra.
Could it be the cowbells?
They’ve got the “Columbus Clippers Ring Your Bell” song. (I’ll spare your afternoon by not posting it here as it quite catchy and would stick in your head all day)
They’ve got cowbells with a team logo on it.

Could it be the cowbell?
What do you think?
Writing this for amusement purposes only. No crusade to enlist legions of cowbellers at the Coke but found it interesting and wanted to share.
OinK!

You don’t want the new words i have for the bell song….. not pretty.
Oh, and according to this blog, they seldom play the sang any more.
