…sorry Topps.
Seriously, these type of guys are the absolute worst human beings to encounter at baseball games. They are usually fat, drunks with no significant other and they ruin baseball games for many. There was one at Dolphin Stadium for the Yankees vs. Marlins Spring Training game and he just went off on Bobby Abreu for 7 innings straight in the outfield even AFTER Bobby was nice and waved to the fans almost every inning.
I remember both Billy Butler of the Royals and Prince Fielder of the Brewers also got a bit of harsh treatment when they came to Dolphin Stadium but it was incredibly short-lived. I come to the stadium to watch the game of baseball and for the excitement of being in the playoffs run, not to hear some pathetic “fan” yell to the player he has the biggest crush on.
That being said, this Sunday we are going to see the Phillies vs. Marlins so you can expect some new pictures.
Seth??????? When i yell at folks i at least like to get the name right!! Was there a seth mclung in the all star game?? I dont remember one so im going to be guessing he was yelling and the wonder himself Nate McClouth..Please overlook all spelling in this post Coffee hasnt kicked in yet this morning.
Nate McLouth is awesome… and unfortunately will probably be playing CF for the Yankees by the end of next year.
This guy actually wasn’t bad at all. Try going to a Cubs vs White Sox game at Sox park some time. The knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers that show up for those games spend 3 hours yelling profanities that would make Quentin Taratino blush.
And more often than not, they are directed at 9 and 10 year old kids wearing Cubs attire.
Wow. People are pathetic. But sadly, they are everywhere.
That’s funny; I don’t attribute such behavior to New York–I attribute such behavior to people who go to ballgames, because every time I go to a ballgame, I see people acting like that.
And I lived in New York for six years and never encountered anyone like that, because, I figured, I never went to a ballgame.
I lived for 16 years in NY (Long Island) and am fat and without a significant other – BUT there is no excuse to ruin a ballgame for other people. Louts like that and parents who don’t control their “precious snowflakes” at ballgames should have their own section.
That section would look like Thunderdome from the Mad Max movie.
“BUT there is no excuse to ruin a ballgame for other people.”
But how does this ruin a ballgame for other people? Ballgames are about hot dogs and nachos and beer and sunburn and peanuts and cheering and waving towels and chanting your team on. Come on, who hasn’t yelled “We need a pitcher, not a belly itcher!”?
“Daarrryyllll! Daarryyll!”
I gotta say, this guy wasn’t too bad ( although he should at least get the name right). I agree if it’s some moron yelling the same lame stuff at the same guy over and over the whole game. But in short, controlled, creative bursts here and there these guys can be pretty funny.
I know we all want to pick on this guy because of the “Joba Rules” tee, but these guys are in every city.
Just keep it short, infrequent, original and clean (especially if there are kids around) and I don’t have a probem.
It’s not just the shirt but the glasses that irked me most.
Going to a game tomorrow vs. the Phils. Hope he’s not there!
We’ve seen quite a few drunken louts at Coors Field and one spectacular fellow at Isotopes Park in Albuquerque, which is otherwise nirvana-like. He was ‘escorted’ out.
We strongly agree with Mr. Entrekin. I was born and raised in NYC (Manhattan) and the only times I ever even laid eyes on overweight drunks (the residents of NYC are in fact usually THIN because they walk a lot) were at baseball games. If these kind of fans bother you (and I can understand why they might), then spring for pricier ballpark tickets and perhaps you’ll be more insulated from ‘em. Expensive, but less so, than, say, trying to get out of Coach on an airplane.
So sad,but Mario enjoy the game!
This is the kind of S.O.B. that would get me thrown out of the stadium after I knocked his big ass down the steps…
Then I would proceed to take out as many of the other jackasses that are laughing, thinking that this guy is “hilarious”, before security could get to me…
