18th Century Ejaculations & Giancarlo Stanton Homers

Here’s video of five different and recent home runs by Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, paired — as they’re clearly intended to be — with verbal ejaculations found in the works of late-18th century playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan.

1. Zounds!

2. Egads!

3. Odds bodkins!

4. Stap my vitals!

5. Gadzooks!





Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.

Completely misread the title. Anyone else do the same?

I thought I misread the title, and then actually it was exactly what I had thought. I’m confused.

I thought that this post was going to cross the line of what fangraphs could and couldn’t be. I really thought this was going to be a comparison of 18th century ejaculations to Stanton’s home runs.

Then, when I read the opening paragraph, I thought that these would have the announcers replaced by some one describing the home runs with 18th century exclamations.

Carson built me up, only to let me down.

Don’t talk back like that son. You need to learn to appreciate all I’ve done for you. I’ve fed you, let you live in my home for 44 years, and still all you do is sit in your basement looking at your Saby-metericks and your Fang Raps. Get a real job. Be a man.

Listen to your father. He was right when he told you that he should have worn a condom. He should have never brought you to the closed circuit rasslemania. Now you post your ejaculations on the computer. Where did we go wrong?
