Seventh-inning stretch
While all thirty Major League franchises currently sing the traditional `` Take Me Out to the Ball Game '' in the seventh inning , several other teams will sing their local favorite between the top and bottom of the eighth inning . Boston Red Sox fans at Fenway Park , for example , sing along to Neil Diamond 's recording of `` Sweet Caroline '' . A notable occurrence happened in June 2011 when during the playing of the song , the city 's NHL franchise , the Boston Bruins , captured the Stanley Cup following a 7 - game series against the Vancouver Canucks , and many fans cheered after the announcement was made . Following the Boston Marathon bombing , several teams ( including Boston 's archrival , the New York Yankees ) temporarily played `` Sweet Caroline '' in the middle of the eighth inning as well , or at other times during the game , as a means of showing solidarity with the City of Boston . The New York Mets have previously used `` Sweet Caroline '' but have since dropped it . After experimenting with it during select games during the 2014 season , the Mets began to implement Billy Joel 's `` Piano Man '' as a full - time sing along ... Similarly , starting in 2008 , the Kansas City Royals began to play `` Friends in Low Places '' by celebrity supporter and one - time spring training invitee Garth Brooks during the middle of the 8th .

List of Major League Baseball perfect games
Though convention has it that the modern era of Major League Baseball begins in 1900 , the essential rules of the modern game were in place by the 1893 season . That year the pitching distance was moved back to 60 feet , 6 inches , where it remains , and the pitcher 's box was replaced by a rubber slab against which the pitcher was required to place his rear foot . Two other crucial rules changes had been made in recent years : In 1887 , the rule awarding a hit batsman first base was instituted in the National League ( this had been the rule in the American Association since 1884 : first by the umpire 's judgment of the impact ; as of the following year , virtually automatically ) . In 1889 , the number of balls required for a walk was reduced to four . Thus , from 1893 on , pitchers sought perfection in a game whose most important rules are the same as today , with two significant exceptions : counting a foul ball as a first or second strike , enforced by the National League as of 1901 and by the American League two years later , and the use of the designated hitter in American League games since the 1973 season .

Seventh-inning stretch
The Miami Marlins , attempting to mimic the Blue Jays ' exercising song in their inaugural year of 1993 , created a group of dancers , some former University of Miami Sunsations or Miami Heat dancers , and called the group `` The Seventh Inning Stretchers '' . At the first game this group came onto the field at the top of the 7th inning , and the crowd was encouraged to stand and stretch , and do a choreographed dance to Gloria Estefan 's song `` Get on Your Feet '' . The crowd , thinking it was the actual 7th inning stretch , booed loudly . The group appeared at the 2nd game the following evening , but was booed again and was never seen following that game .
Lakers–Clippers rivalry
The Clippers moved to Los Angeles in 1984 after six seasons in San Diego . The team originally made their home in the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena ( formerly the Lakers ' home arena from 1960 -- 67 ) , about 10 miles ( 16 km ) from the Lakers then - home at The Forum . After the Clippers move , the teams drew a crowd of 14,991 in their first meeting at the Sports Arena ; it was the then - largest home - court attendance in Clippers history . The fans were evenly divided in their support of the two teams . The Lakers won 108 -- 103 , and the Associated Press ( AP ) wrote that `` a crosstown rivalry was born '' . Former Lakers guard Norm Nixon , then in his second year with the Clippers , said `` I think it 's going to great every time we play ... When we get some more ( wins ) , our fans wo n't have to cover their heads with their hats anymore . '' The Clippers marketed themselves as the `` People 's Team '' with ticket prices ( $4 , $8 , $12 , and $15 ) that were lower than the Lakers ( $7 , $9.50 , $13.50 , and $27.50 and above ) . Lakers coach Pat Riley commented , `` I felt we 've done more the last 20 years to be the ' People 's Team ' ''
Houston Astros
After the 1986 season , the team had difficulty finding success again . Several changes occurred . The `` rainbow '' uniforms were phased out , the team electing to keep a five - stripe `` rainbow '' design on the sleeves . From 1987 to 1993 , the Astros wore the same uniform for both home and away games ; the only team in Major League Baseball to do so during that period . Its favorites Nolan Ryan and José Cruz moved on and the team entered a rebuilding phase . Craig Biggio debuted in June 1988 , joining new prospects Ken Caminiti and Gerald Young . Biggio would become the everyday catcher by 1990 . A trade acquiring Jeff Bagwell in exchange for Larry Andersen would become one of the biggest deals in Astros history . Glenn Davis was traded to Baltimore for Curt Schilling , Pete Harnisch and Steve Finley in 1990.1990 -- 1999 : Fine tuning

It gave players a broader range of options as free agents .

In 1977 , the Buccaneers did not appear on NBC ( nor on ABC ) , as their only interconference game was at Seattle , which was televised by CBS . The Buccaneers and Seahawks swapped conferences in 1977 , with Tampa Bay moving to the NFC Central and Seattle to the AFC West . Seattle returned to the NFC West in 2002 .
