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.
Beanball, Dusy, J.J.: That's right, Nelson. He's not just A Mudhen, he's the BEST Mudhen!
