ONIONS!

[Richard Herbst]

I'm pretty sure "onions" is a reference to having big balls. He calls "onions" when someone demonstrates guts hitting a big shot or something.

how can you not like bill raftery

[wdw1983]

You're told wrong.

[Jason Burt]

Per Raftery, "Onions" means big balls. Not making other team cry

[Andy Arias]

I'm told onions stands for making the other team cry.

[William Rooney]

nah i thought it was like that and the cinderella story with the stepsisters' using onions to cry, but it does have to do with having big balls...if you search the phrase in google theres an article about the origination of the phrase. i like to give it the double meaning - crying and mondo nads

Gus can not beat Bill Raftery.

[Y2Jin99]

My guess was someone hits a huge shot making the other team "Cry" hence ONIONS!

[Y2Jin99]

I use to like Raftery but he is a cartoon now. All that matters is him getting in all his sayings and he never forgets to say MAN TO MAN in an exaggerated voice even when a team drops into a zone. Verne Lundquist Texas GOES MAN TO MAN! with a little zone principal.
