Mudhen Fever
A disease held by all Toledo Mudhens Fans, moreso in the old timers. It is often caught by fans watching the old timer reunion games with class of 1945. Mudhen Fever is especially held by Ed Crankshaft, Dale 'Beanball' Bushka, Jefferson 'J.J.' Jacks, and Fred 'Dusty' Duncan.
Dale: (talking to the team) OK boys, we're almost ready to come out here.
Ed: (screaming) Yeah, Mudhen Fever time! I'd better start doing my Mudhen Bends.
Beanball: Mind if we all join you? We're all Mudhens here.
Dusty: Aye, yes, the magic of the Mudhen Fever. This is going to be a good game.
Dale: (on the P.A. system) Introducing the Toledo Mudhens class of 1945.
Nelson: Oh boy, this is going to be a good game. I get to see Grandpa Ed in his old Mudhen suit.
Beanball: You're right, who knows, you might get a signed ball by him. Bryant has one. (picks up the signed baseball and hands the ball to Nelson). See, 'Ed Crankshaft', best Toledo Mudhens pitcher ever!
Ed: (overhears Beanball and Nelson, the gang gets together and starts slapping Gunny Fives) Mudhen Silver, Mudhen Gold, you guys are young and we're all old! (as in a taunt to the other team, who is Rochester Red Wings class of 1972)
Nelson: Have a good game, Grandpa Ed. I'll be rooting for you.

Nelson: I'd rather have another type of milkshake instead. But I'm not sure what kind.
Ralph M: (excited) I got one for you, Nelson. How about a 'Rocketshake'?
Nelson: Wow, Mr. Meckler! What's in that?
Ralph M: Well, it's almost like Grandpa Ed's Cream of Crankshaft, but you use mint chocolate chip instead of rocky road ice cream, there's M&Ms in it. I'll whip you one up real quick.
(Ralph M makes the milkshake)

Moonball
A game of baseball created by Earl Pickles. Often played by Earl and his grandson, Nelson. It's used to teach kids how to hit the ball off the tee. Called 'Moonball' because the bat is often swung very hard and the ball is hit very far.
Nelson: (on the verge of crying but not quite) I'm just not a good batter. How can I learn to hit better?
Earl: What's the matter? Let's play Moonball. I'll show you how to do it.
Nelson: How?! I've never played Moonball before.
Earl: (demonstrating a proper batting stance) Here, do it like this. (swings the bat)
Nelson: Wow! Look at the ball go!
Earl: Wow! That ball almost went as high as the moon.
Nelson: (giving a high five) Move over, Ed Crankshaft, Earl Pickles is coming your way!
Ed: I heard that, Nelson Wolfe. You don't disrespect a Mudhen, you hear me?! (stares at him hard, angry eyed)
Nelson: Sorry, but I bet you never played Moonball when you played.
Earl: What's the matter? Let's play Moonball. I'll show you how to do it.
Nelson: How?! I've never played Moonball before.
Earl: (demonstrating a proper batting stance) Here, do it like this. (swings the bat)

Earl: I'll show you what I mean. (turns up the hearing aid loud so it's squealing. Muffin jumps off his lap scared)
