I though it had to do with herniating the nut sack.I thought when you "twist one", you're rolling a joint?
Former Pittsburgh Pirates announcer, Bob Prince, called a double play a "Hoover", in reference to the vacuum's ability to clean things up.
The Gunner was one of a kind with his "tweener", "kiss it goodbye", and “spread some chicken on the Hill with Will” sayings.Remember it well: ...." we sucked them off the base paths ..."
And a "bug on the rug" was a liner into the outfield gap on the astro-turf .........
"CHICKEN ON THE HILL" - A home run for Willie Stargell, begun by the fact that Stargell owned a chicken restaurant in Pittsburgh's Hill District and that whenever he homered, the person at the counter would get free chicken. Thus, Prince would say, "We need a homer here. Come on, Willie, spread some Chicken on the Hill." In one particular game, Prince said that if Stargell hit a home run, everybody in the restaurant would get free chicken. Stargell did hit the home run, everyone got free chicken, and Stargell sent the bill to Prince.“spread some chicken on the Hill with Will”

Interpretation?
I hear it from some rich folks on these travel teams, and a local guy whom I question his baseball aptitude.Never in my life until this thread have I heard the phrase “twist a double play.”
Sometimes if I’m watching a game and have a rooting interest, I’ll still use Hawk Harrelson’s old expression, “Rack ‘em up!” when the team I’m rooting for turns two.
It’s true, it’s true. Trust me …
