Kind of an interesting look at hip hop & sports teams from Slate.com, particularly against the backdrop of the whole "underrepresentation of blacks in baseball" stuff.
On that subject, I'd be interested in seeing what the fan demographic looks like now compared to the past 50 years or so . . .

After last night's 14-inning heartbreaker, the Houston Astros are basically toast; no team has ever overcome a three-game deficit in a World Series, and Roger Clemens' gimpy hamstring bodes ill for their comeback chances. But Astros fans can take heart in knowing their team has emerged victorious in one crucial off-the-field competition. Houston has, hands down, the better unofficial theme songs.
