Is this the sports sub?

I have a very important question.

Football seems to be "America's Game". Many people gather 'round on Sunday afternoons and Monday evenings to worship the sacred pigskin. As we all know, one of the most attractive parts of football is NOT the fact that they go 5 yards, call a penalty, go 5 yards, have an injury, go -2 yards, call a penalty (SNORE)... but that they have:

CHEERLEADERS!

So, here's my question: Baseball is as Amerian as apple pie and mom. Why isn't there a cheerleader troupe that comes stomping out during, say, the 7th inning stretch?

I'm starting a new franchise, dangit.

I saw SNL's rerun of Farley's Chippendale dancer bit last night, and it made me think:

1: I could have done that. And, I'd still be alive.

and

2: Crap. I hope my wife's not gonna want me to dance like that after seeing this!
