Look Alive

From The Rogue's Baseball Index

Like Elbow Up, Look Alive (or the variant Look Alive Out There) is a phrase that is almost always shouted — and then, almost always in the direction of unsuspecting youths. The term actually works on two levels: first, and most immediately, as a plea from parents and coaches that the aforementioned youths might fortheloveofgod at least pretend like they're playing a baseball game; and second, as a tacit recognition of a dark but obvious truth — namely, that children bear a greater resemblance to the undead than we'd sometimes care to admit.
