    “can of corn” … er, acorns. This is a baseball idiom meaning a routine fly-ball. In the 19th-century, clerks at general stores were looking for an easier way to reach canned goods on high shelves, started using long sticks to pull them down. After dropping the cans toward them, they would catch them in their aprons – like a ‘fly-ball’

    From Wikipedia, "During the 1962 season, New York Mets center fielder Richie Ashburn and Eliot Chacón frequently found themselves colliding in the outfield. When Ashburn went for a catch, he would scream, “I got it! I got it!” only to run into the 160-pound Chacón, who spoke only Spanish. Ashburn learned to yell, “¡La tengo! ¡La tengo!” which is “I’ve got it” in Spanish. In a later game, Ashburn happily saw Chacón backing off. He relaxed, positioned himself to catch the ball, and was instead run over by 200-pound left fielder Frank Thomas, who understood no Spanish and had missed a team meeting that proposed using the words “¡La tengo!” as a way to avoid outfield collisions. After getting up, Thomas asked Ashburn, “What the hell is a Yellow Tango?”. The band, Yo La Tengo, gets its name from this baseball anecdote. "
