Introducing the new Twitter pastime: #Keithism

We all know and love Keith Hernandez.  He was a spectacular player in his day and helped the Mets to their 1986 World Series victory (among other things).  We also know him as a color guy for SNY. Keithism

During his time in the booth, Hernandez provides some interesting commentary on hitters, baseball and a lot of the time, food.  He’s also been known to put his foot in his mouth on occasion.

So starting tonight, with the use of Twitter, we will attempt to track and highlight some of the best things that come out of Keith Hernandez’s mouth.

Every time you hear Keith say something funny, silly, crazy or just “normal” Keith-talk, type it up on Twitter (in 130 or so characters) and tag it with #Keithism.

Examples:

  • “What a great player.  And he could fly...” on Roberto Clemente.  #Keithism
  • “Oh man, great camera angle, eh, Gaer?” #Keithism
  • “Women don't belong in the dugout” #Keithism

And on and on and on…

So tonight, and in the future, as you watch our beloved Mets, be sure to keep a keen ear on Mr. Hernandez, and be sure to pass along your favorite #Keithism.

If you’re a fan of the crosstown team, or just like to read silly things announcers say, check out this Twitter hash-tag, started by my friend @Fletch788, #Kayche.
