From from former Red Sox pitcher Oil Can Boyd, this must explain the references to salt water:

In addition, Boyd’s sense of logic, and his apparent lack of common sense, made him fodder for the fans and the media. When a game was postponed at Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium because of fog coming in from Lake Erie, Boyd delivered a profound judgment. “That’s what you get for building a ballpark on the ocean.”


The Oil Can nickname was slang for beer can.  I love the greater Cleveland area.  My older son went to graduate school out there a decade ago and stayed, except for the last two years he opted to leave the mothership for the Middle East for more experience.
