I will refrain from posting all of the β€œtwo-word phrase often heard at a baseball game" suggestions that my husband and I came up with before working the puzzle. πŸ˜³πŸ˜„

A few nudges:

37A is a hint to the mechanism
Apply 37A to the theme answers
There is a mechanism to enable you to confirm that you applied 37A correctly, i.e. you don't have to guess at the answer

Spoiler 1 was enough to point me in the right direction.
Thanks for the puzzle!

I've been running behind in basically everything and just got to this one today, but I'm off the couch (without nudges)! Very nice puzzle.

Off the bench and into the game with an answer that makes sense.
I see a hint to a mechanism, but not any formal mechanism.
