Importance of Baseball Chants in a Game
You might think the baseball chants are used to entertain the fans and bring energy to the game. Yes, that is one of the many reasons.
Suppose we talk about the star players playing professional baseball in the MLB. In that case, it is pretty evident that the crowd cheering or even jeering cannot affect a player’s physical abilities. A pitcher who typically has a capability of throwing at 90 mph will not be affected by the jeering of the opponent team’s fans.
Given the fact that the baseball chants do not affect the player’s physical ability, it does affect them mentally. Of course, players like Tom Brady or Bryce Harper cannot be “moved” by these, but young players often get affected. Especially during the youth leagues, the “jeering” create a very negative atmosphere, and it often leads to distracting the players, and they end up making mistakes sometimes.
Thus it is not recommended or advised to “jeer” at the opponent team, even if they are your team’s “sworn enemy.”
The Rules to follow for the Chants
There are a few dos and don’ts that one should follow while chanting and cheering fr their favorite baseball team. Let us begin with the things that you can do while chanting.
The Dos
- It is essential to keep the chant short and the words simple. This allows the fans or supporters to memorize it and repeat it with the crowd quickly.
- The rhythm used for the chant should be easy to catchy and easy to pick up. Tricky or no rhythms are often not picked up well and don’t create the “environment.”
- One can also use famous tones like the Oscar Mayer Weiner song tune given above. This makes it easy for everyone to pick up and repeat along with everyone else.
- Some fans also incorporate movements like clapping and stomping to make these baseball chants more attractive and entertaining.
The Don’ts
- The “Dos” already mentioned use easy-to-remember and short words. It is essential to avoid the hard words which are often not used in a regular conversation.
- Ensure not to make the chants very difficult. It is crucial because complex rhythms or long chants are often difficult to remember and more likely boring.
- The most important thing that one should avoid doing a chant is using “curse words.” This should be strictly prohibited, along with words that might insult a particular player or a team in general.
