A FREAKING ORGAN. They should put one in that new boat thing in center.

Other posts have mentioned a calliope going in there. And one poster has threatened violence in retaliation.

I have no idea what a calliope is.
Calliopes are high-pressure instruments that virtually explode their music through brass pipes. Invented in America in the mid-19th century, they were originally powered by steam but eventually converted to compressed air.
You learned fast!
They play organ music over the loudspeakers on Sunday games; I think it is piped in (that turned out to be a bad pun) by computer like the at-bat/between innings audio during other games.
The calliope played "Take me out to the ballgame" today...

They need the smell of cigars smoking when you enter the park. The way it was when I was a kid. Part of the atmosphere, IMO.
Every Sunday & Opening Day we have a live organist. The other days it is pre-recorded organ music.
Today the organist did a few songs live on the calliope.
I went batcrap nuts over the calliope. It is awesome. Great American Ball Park walks a precarious line between clueless and kitsch, and right at this moment it's balanced as perfectly as possible in my opinion.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
A green monster in left field like in Boston
A winner on Opening Day was a great start.
GABP needs more power hitters
I think GABP needs its outfield walls to be moved back. Maybe then we'll be able to attract some free agent pitchers when Griff and Milty come off the books.
