September 9[edit]

MLB American and National Leagues being Democratic and Republican[edit]

Why people say that American League is Democratic or pro-Democratic and National League Republican or pro-Republican? is it because New York City, Boston, Chicago, Baltimore, Oakland, Seattle, Anaheim and Detroit are socially liberal while Atlanta, Miami (home of Marlins), Cincinnati, Arizona (home of Diamondbacks), and St. Louis are socially conservative? Where did they get the idea? Donmust90 (talk) 00:36, 9 September 2016 (UTC)Donmust90Donmust90 (talk) 00:36, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

^{[citation needed]}. I have been watching Baseball for 30+ years, and never heard such a thing. No one can answer "why" to a presumption which is not already established. --Jayron 32 00:43, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The closest thing to this would be spurious correlations of which league wins an election year World Series. I question the core premise characterizing the cities. But the premise fails anyway, because New York, Chicago, the Bay Area and the Los Angeles area have teams in each league. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:48, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the premise is demonstratedly wrong. Donmust claims Atlanta is in the "Pro-republican/Conservative" camp. List of mayors of Atlanta shows Atlanta hasn't elected a Republican mayor since the 1870s, and has been reliably Democratic for over a century. --Jayron 32 12:30, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto with St. Louis. A major reason for the Missouri bellwether phenomenon is the two big cities and their Democratic-favoring politics, because without them, the state would be strongly Republican. Nyttend (talk) 16:21, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In Chicago, the National League Cubs are associated with the white-collar neighborhood their stadium is in (and previous team owner, the Tribune is the more conservative newspaper in town) while the American League Whie Sox are associated with a blue collar area. But in New York I believe the situation is reverse with the Yankees/Mets. Rmhermen (talk) 17:05, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Cubs are also currently owned by the Ricketts family, which has been a donor to the Republicans. I don't know anything about the political persuasions of the Reinsdorfs. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 16:51, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Video from the 90s, techno, bunny dancing[edit]

Trying to find a video from the 90s. There was a guy dressed as a bunny dancing on the scenario. The music was kind of techno. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Llaanngg (talk • contribs) 16:31, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Putting the title of this section into Google gave me a Yahoo Answers link which had these videos listed:

Happyland - Don't You Know Who I Am

Love Inc. - Broken Bones (though a quick scan of it didn't have any bunnies.)

And this from Love Inc. but that's blocked in my country. †Dismas†|^(talk) 00:00, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could it be Jive Bunny? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jive_Bunny_and_the_Mastermixers Snorgle (talk) 12:37, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
