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

Re: What GABP needs.
Other posts have mentioned a calliope going in there. And one poster has threatened violence in retaliation.

Re: What GABP needs.
I have no idea what a calliope is.

Re: What GABP needs.
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.

Re: What GABP needs.
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.

Re: What GABP needs.
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.

Re: What GABP needs.
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. |

Re: What GABP needs.
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.

Re: What GABP needs.
 A winner on Opening Day was a great start. What more can we expect? Maybe a winner in Game #2.

Re: What GABP needs.
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.
