The Flying Dutchman: While wearing wooden shoes, jump off your deck and slam a beer.
Happy Birthday Bert…..Who’s with me?
Good God!! Not only will everyone that plays be completely hammered in the 2nd inning, but by the end of the game there will most likely be a friend with a black eye from the uppercut, a couple broken TVs, and someone with a broken leg from jumping off their deck (but at least they’ll have beer to numb the pain).
I think you are trying to kill me.
No, Bert is. “And Calltothepen with that very good one..point…one…eight.. (1.18) B…..A……C.”
Here’s some more:
-If Bert gets excited about a pitcher breaking a bat – drink with a toothpick in your mouth (double if he’s happy about the opposing pitcher doing it)
-If Bert talks about how “pitching used to be…” (this includes complaining about the pitch count) – drink a beer you opened yesterday
I just drank all my beer after seeing Bert wearing a snuggy, goofy hat, and waving a mini-bat around.
Hi Bert,
I hope you get this message! I am going to be at the game on Sunday May 30th with my “circl me Bert” sign!! I am coming with the 3 men in my life…it’s a birthday gift/Mothers day gift from my boys:)
Hope we get circled!!

That person with the Happy Birthday Bert sign is gonna be me.
I always love the “baseball is a roller coaster” Bert talk. Happy birthday, Bert!
Dear Bert,
Happy Birthday! We so enjoy listening to the Twins when you and Dick announce the games! You guys are terrific! Keep up the good work!
Also, belated Congratulations on being inducted into the Baseball Hall
