A person getting murdered at a sporting event. Creates a situation where there might be hundreds of witnesses, thousands of suspects, but isn't necessarily easier for the detectives. Title is a reference to the unofficial anthem of baseball. The quote is Troper Silent Hunter's re-write of the lyrics of the chorus. |

In The Naked Gun, the Queen is going to be assassinated at a Angels/Mariners game, but Drebin and company save her in time. Rather than dispatching an ordinary hit man that the Police Squad was already on the lookout for, the villain uses mind control to make Reggie Jackson commit the deed. | |

In The Dark Knight Rises, when Bane takes over Gotham, he and his men announce their takeover by blowing up the bridges and the underground tunnels, trapping Gotham's police underground and cutting Gotham off from the outside world. He started his plan during a pro football game. Just after kickoff at the top of the first quarter, Bane and his men hit their detonators, causing not just the aforementioned explosions, but also causing the entire playing field to implode, swallowing all but one of the players (the exception being the kick returner, who manages to make it to the endzone intact). Bane and his men march onto the field, where Bane presents the nuclear reactor bomb, and "interviews" Dr. Pavel on live TV for the crowd of 60,000 to watch. After getting Dr. Pavel to admit that only he knows how to disarm the bomb, Bane snaps his neck. | |

Tex Avery's "Batty Baseball" has a fan in the crowd yelling "Kill the umpire!" quite forcefully, and off-screen his request is granted. At the end of the cartoon, the catcher who keeps creeping up past the batter to catch a pitch as the batter swings and misses fatally suffers an off-screen fate as the camera zooms in on the batter, whose swing bashes the catcher in the head. (Catcher's sign as he floats to heaven: "Sad ending, isn't it?") | |

In an episode of Married... with Children, while Al is in the the middle of a prank war with his neighbor Jefferson (who is frequently implied to be a former CIA spy), a man comes up to Al and tries to convince him that Jefferson is dangerous and is actually spying on the United States. Furthermore, the man offers Al a large sum of money as a reward for any information on Jefferson. After Al spends most of the episode freaking out about this, Jefferson claims that the whole thing was his latest prank on Al, and the guy is an old friend of Jefferson's. Al is relieved and accepts this, but the episode ends with Jefferson watching a baseball game where the guy who offered Al the money suddenly dies under mysterious circumstances, and all the while Jefferson's expression might as well say "Just as planned." | |

One episode of Golgo 13 has the title character killing a star football player in the middle of a game. It's implied (but never directly stated) that the hit was ordered by the guy behind him on the depth chart. Another episode had him take out a horse during a horse race, because a stable owner couldn't stand that a steed of ostensibly inferior breeding was winning races. | |

Three episodes of Case Closed and one movie feature crimes that take place at sports events. One occurs at a pro soccer game. A criminal calls the TV station covering the event and try to extort money out of them by claiming to have a gun. The criminal demands a large sum of cash, threatening to start shooting randomly into the crowd if it is not delivered in time. The police attempt to catch the criminal when they come the claim the money, but it turns out that the person had an accomplice who was observing the retrieval and are forced to let her go until they can find the accomplice. Conan eventually finds him and confronts him in a risky showdown with the criminal that nearly gets him killed. Of course, he is the titular character, so he lives. The second case takes place at the high school baseball championships, an all-day event that covers the semi-finals and finals all at once. A mad bomber has decided to destroy the entire stadium and everyone in it, and it is up to Conan, Hattori, and police inspector Nakamura to find the cell phones the bomber has scattered throughout the stadium containing clues that eventually lead to him. In the end, the bomber's motive was some kind of convoluted revenge for his son's accidental death. Of course, it the fault actually rested largely with the son, who had overworked himself training and thus was unable to avoid getting run over on his way home, but the man still blamed the sport anyhow and planned to destroy the stadium as a form of symbolic revenge. A third takes place at Wimbledon. A man blamed the defending champion for his mother's death because he had hoped to get enough money to pay for her operation by betting on the other competitors the previous year, and as a result could not afford the operation when the person he bet on lost. He planned to blow up the champion's mother at the end of the final match in revenge. Conan managed to identify him and took him out before he could activate the detonator. The 16th movie occurs at a pro soccer game. During a J. League promotion event to play soccer with children, a bomber calls Mouri and sends clues where he will strike. Conan finds the explosives on a scoreboard and rearranges them to fall at a safe location with little time. The bomber then sends a letter that he will strike during a game with the highest viewership. |
