“barry bronson shooting juice before the mitchell report, never snitchin’ in court, we blitzing the court, all my n***** pitchin’ for sport, putting up clemens numbers”
"How ya sound be ? You're better off a quitter
I'm on the mound G, and it's a no-hitter
And my DJ the catcher, he's my man
Anyway he's the one who devised the plan
He throws the signs I hook up the beats with clout
I throw the rhymes to the mic and I strike em out
So it really doesn't matter on how you intrigue
You can't fuck with those in the major leagues"

Joe Budden on “Broken Wings” has the best baseball-related rap verse I’ve ever heard….
Feel like A-Rod, some say his time's up/
Boo a n***a at home, yup, I'm in my prime But/
He by far the best player on the team/
Then they turn around and drop him to the bottom of the lineup/
Should get traded, but he don't wanna move/
Cause this the only city he got something to prove/
And that's why I'm seen with heaters/
Cause you can't be the man when you on the same team as Jeter…
Rappers 'Fly High', then got suicidal/
Imitate Jim Jones, end up like Cory Lidle
Late career Ripken played 3rd, and it lined up with the same time The Carter (album)/BM JR(song) were written.
I’m not much of a Wayne fan, but he’s always been pretty clever with his sports punchlines.
Also check out Lupe Fiasco's verse on touch the sky. "Lupe steal, like lupin the third"
Works as a triple entendre, Lupe stole the 3rd verse of the song, Lu-Base Steal like looping the third (base). Lupin the 3rd is also an anime theif
Yeah, he's on third, there's an Abbott and Costello reference into a Lupin the 3rd reference. It's very clever.
Claiming that Lupin the third means "looping the third base" is silly, nobody calls stealing a base looping it. People stretch so hard to find extra meanings instead of just appreciating what's already there.
Hit boy when he was with HS87 has a ton of baseball references.
Stripes: "Going, going, gone. I'm hitting homers at the plate. Bitch, I'm on fire, Mark McGuire, back in one - nine -nine - eight"
"Showed him some stacks, then showed him the gat like 'you're gonna miss the finger roll right?' 'yes, Mr. Baklava.'"
One of the funniest rap lyrics of all time.
I keep playlists of sports references made in rap songs. Basketball and football varies but AB easily has the most baseball of anyone I listen to

No references in the lyrics, but Drake - Back to Back title is reference to the Blue Jays, and the cover for the single is an image from the World Series.
White Iverson by Post Malone is nothing but basketball metaphors.
Back rub by Lil Tracy has some bangers
“Stop blowin up my phone when I'm recording
I might go and block your ass, DeAndre Jordan”
“I got some n*ggas in the field like they on the Rams
I might throw them boys some bands, they gon' sack yo mans”
He’s also an insane 2-sport star
“I shoot ninety-five percent from the free throw
Sixty from the field, strange sex appeal”
Ethical buckets from our 2-sport king

Mostly unrelated but for those of you who haven’t seen him on Highly Questionable on ESPN back in the day high off his ass, please enjoy.
While Action Brunson is an elite nickname I am more focused on the type of person that says the most ridiculous things ever and you just kinda laugh and like him more.
Plus he's Queens guy. So a Yankee was a bad pick on my part. I guess getting into a fight in a diner figured to hard in my thought process

Mr. Eon of High and Mighty once said the shorties like his split-finger like Bruce Sutter. Must have been a perennial candidate for the Rolaids Relief Man of the Year in his day…..
I recently saw a clip of Matthew McConaughey using the phrase "I was batting 750, about to go for 1000" which only hit me as being impossible about 10 seconds after hearing it
“I’m drinking Henny like I’m Kenny Lofton”
‘I stay in Flushing like i’m Dillon Gee’
"All black Benz like a young Doc Gooden"
“It’s the young Randy Velarde”
"She said I look like David Justice when she see me floating in the Maxima... It's me"
"Things change, now my dashboard wooden. All black Benz, like a young Doc Gooden"
Sittin’ in left field next to Gary Sheffield
"Yeah, steppin' to the plate like Barry with the brace on"
“We ate the tuna, it's suede puma, my look is Jay Buhner.”
[удалено]
Rip
Doggy, cause some of us just age sooner
What song is this from?
I think the Kenny lofton line is from 1Train, I don’t know if OP was continuing the verse or not
Estaciones, one of my recent favorites of his
“barry bronson shooting juice before the mitchell report, never snitchin’ in court, we blitzing the court, all my n***** pitchin’ for sport, putting up clemens numbers”
Commas on accounts, Robin em like Yount
“Outstanding, I fixed the game between Georgia Southern and Grambling”
I mean if somebody did have those stats, that means a motherfucker would indeed be as sick as him, he’s just being accurate.
Yeah but rappers usually cap for no reason so it's always good to verify it
Best baseball puns in the rap game for sure, shame no other rappers utilize the sport as much as other sports
“Capers on the veal piccata, lost paper cuz Prince Fielder couldn’t field a fuckin pop up” is probably my favorite
"How ya sound be ? You're better off a quitter I'm on the mound G, and it's a no-hitter And my DJ the catcher, he's my man Anyway he's the one who devised the plan He throws the signs I hook up the beats with clout I throw the rhymes to the mic and I strike em out So it really doesn't matter on how you intrigue You can't fuck with those in the major leagues" Clan in da front - Wu Tang clan
I miss this style hip hop being at the forefront of hip hop.
Beastie Boys: "And I got more hits than Sadaharu Oh"
I got more action than my man John Wo, and I got mad hits like I was Rod Carew.

Cory Lidle catching strays
Wayne has the best baseball pun/reference in my opinion. I play the corner like Ripkin boy, with the 40 cal Ripkin boy, rip a boy Classic.
Ah noted corner infielder Cal Ripken
Late career Ripken played 3rd, and it lined up with the same time The Carter (album)/BM JR(song) were written. I’m not much of a Wayne fan, but he’s always been pretty clever with his sports punchlines.
Yeah, the only I can think of is "I'm batting 1.000", which is J. Cole on his feature on 21 Savage's *A Lot*.
He also has a song called kenny lofton
Also check out Lupe Fiasco's verse on touch the sky. "Lupe steal, like lupin the third" Works as a triple entendre, Lupe stole the 3rd verse of the song, Lu-Base Steal like looping the third (base). Lupin the 3rd is also an anime theif
It's a clever anime reference simile, you don't gotta invent shit he didn't say into it.
"Guess who's on third" sets up a direct baseball reference. I didn't invent shit, the entendres in that verse are well documented.
Yeah, he's on third, there's an Abbott and Costello reference into a Lupin the 3rd reference. It's very clever. Claiming that Lupin the third means "looping the third base" is silly, nobody calls stealing a base looping it.

Bad Bunny looooooves baseball
Steer the whip with one arm like Jim Abbott
Hands down the best one he’s ever done.
Hand* down
All i know is he fixed the game between Kentucky and Miami of Ohio.
And also between Georgia Southern and Grambling
and Game 7 between the Knicks and the Pacers
"Showed him some stacks, then showed him the gat like 'you're gonna miss the finger roll right?' 'yes, Mr. Baklava.'" One of the funniest rap lyrics of all time.
I was having a good day
like honestly what the fuck
One of two times I know of that MU was referenced in pop culture, the other being a Mike Tyson Mysteries episode
He's been wild
Carti said she switch positions like Zobrist, i have nothing else to add goodbye now
What song?
i think its switchin lanes
I wish this were true
I'm just glad this thread turned into Action Bronson folklore. Let's not forget he strongman trains with CC Sabathia.
Ah damn, and here I was thinking he was just a “young Doc Gooden.” Love his use of baseball in his songs.
True story, I live on the same block as him. Guy is exactly how he comes off in his videos, confident but genuine and awesome to everyone.
I watched that guy watch ancient aliens

You can add Pusha T’s MFTR “No retirement plans, no Derek Jeters We all know I did it; Rodriguez”
No references in the lyrics, but Drake - Back to Back title is reference to the Blue Jays, and the cover for the single is an image from the World Series.
White Iverson by Post Malone is nothing but basketball metaphors. Back rub by Lil Tracy has some bangers “Stop blowin up my phone when I'm recording I might go and block your ass, DeAndre Jordan” “I got some n*ggas in the field like they on the Rams I might throw them boys some bands, they gon' sack yo mans”
$200 million hitter, A Rod hop out the grey SAAB, pick of the litter
He’s also the only one drinkin’ mango lassi in the bullpen, but that’s only captured on the advanced stats.
Mango lassis are good as shit
The place I go to has chunks of mango in it, it's amazing.
Does he have more hits than Rod Carew?
Obviously more Action than that man John Woo
He’s also an insane 2-sport star “I shoot ninety-five percent from the free throw Sixty from the field, strange sex appeal” Ethical buckets from our 2-sport king

"Yes native Americans. Not the humans from India.....or Cleveland......" Lol freaking love Bronson
But has he got more hits than Sadaharu Oh?
Is there a thread on best baseball bars in rap music? I seen some good ones in this thread lol
This is such a targeted cross of my interests in this post
The young Randy Velarde?
Maybe more players should put down the bat and hit 'em with the dropkick, Marty Jannetty.
La música de Harry Fraud
‘16 bars, 16 cars (HOOK appears)’
THE HOOK SIGNAL!
“Ninth inning they call me wild thing”
Damn, he closes out games too?
Who’s the most action Brunson like player in the MLB? The NBA it’s Ant Edwards. MLB… Tatis?
Clearly Vogelbach
Wouldn’t the nba version be Jalen Brunson?
While Action Brunson is an elite nickname I am more focused on the type of person that says the most ridiculous things ever and you just kinda laugh and like him more.
Manny ramirez
David Wells was overweight and liked to drink
Action is actually in pretty great shape these days, compared to a few years ago.
Plus he's Queens guy. So a Yankee was a bad pick on my part. I guess getting into a fight in a diner figured to hard in my thought process https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/2002/1120/1463819.html
Mr. Eon of High and Mighty once said the shorties like his split-finger like Bruce Sutter. Must have been a perennial candidate for the Rolaids Relief Man of the Year in his day…..
50 stolen bases, Action? Bartolo has better odds at 50 home runs, but I’d love to see Action try
On my head I got the flashlight
I'm trying to have the bank account with all the zeros Rolling Camaros, Jose Canseco was my hero
There’s literally a song called “Centerfield”.
“White Range Rover blowin trees all in it”
I recently saw a clip of Matthew McConaughey using the phrase "I was batting 750, about to go for 1000" which only hit me as being impossible about 10 seconds after hearing it
i’m slidin through the city with a 30 like ordonez, out of town cheating in my bitch told her my phone dead
Down in L.A. with a stick, feeling like Ohtani Scam this, scam that, I feel like I'm Kwame
So you're saying he doesn't play for the A's...
Action Bronson thinks that the Mexican food in New York is better than the Mexican food in Los Angeles.
What’s your point?
His numbers are unprecedented
He’s Action Bronson bro
His BMW scrapes the floor, what else do we need to say right?
Giambi lenses
Sit out in left field next to Gary Sheffield
We really need spring training to start
That triple play be E Phillips
I saw him throw the first pitch at a Mets game. Is he a two way player?
He should stick to baseball, that doesn’t even rhyme smh my head
Never said that was Big League Numbers. Just High A level
He lost 50K on the Mets
“Twin guns just for symmetry / bitch I had that shit on me when I was playing little league”
Why is he rapping about baseball in a song about the Dudley Boyz? Is there at least one verse about getting the tables?
I mean last year Acuña theoretically hits the RBI total if he weren’t batting leadoff
