PAPARAPAPARAPAPA RAPA E BOOM!!

As you may know, I was in Belgium with my Baseball crew last week and we got beat baaaaad! (click here for photo album) We did however beat the Portuguese team 21 to 20 thanks to yours truly. Unfortunately, the C.E.B. (Confederation of European Baseball) decided to disqualify our team due to "Article 26d2" of the competition rules and not give us the win. Politely put, " they let us compete "out of competition" because we only had 11 players in our roster instead of a minimum of 12. I still feel that they could've kept up our stats and box scores and give us the official win for the books but oh well. We did however come back with our Indians Anthem and that's something they can never take away from us. We sang and danced to that song 435 times a day, on and off the field. We really created a movement with the whole "Paparapa papapa pa papa pa e boom" over there!!! We even had little kids come up to us and ask us to do the "rapapapa dance" for them after and during games. It all started with one of our latin players singing out loud with his ipod on before a game. I heard it and started imitating him not knowing what he was trying to sing... then another one started and so on. Then the organisation's music man played it inbetween innings after hearing us sing it and we all went nuts. Just imagine 11 retarded basball freaks singing all at once at the top of their lungs in the middle of a game-LOL!!! From then on, it just stuck, we were rockin it in our bus, at the hotel, in supermarkets, restaurants and of course on the dancefloor of the Noxx club that my man DJ Sake hooked us up with...
