Once a Fenway (one of Bret Saberhagen's comeback attempts) the Reds were playing the Whites. By the end of the 2nd the sox were up like 6 or 8 to nothing when the first out of town scoreboard pops up. The Yankees are losing 2-1 in Toronto. The whole of Fenway breaks out with "Fuck the Yankees". Its the closest I ever came to crying in a baseball stadium.

Beautiful

which sox?

yeah people think we have spontaneous yankees suck changs but usually they are inspired either by the scoreboard or a yankees fan being an asshole in the stands.

one time another friend and i were standing in the bleachers during batting practice, not paying attention, and she got hit by a BP HR and some asshole grabbed the ball and wouldn't give it to her. she was in pain so they took us to the medical room and gave her some ibuprofin and we ran into the governor who was using the medical room bathroom. we both had prominent political buttons criticizing policies she supported. i am telling this story cause then the sox gave her a brett saberhagen signed ball for the huge bruise on her hip.
 
In Philly they wait a few innings and then kick all the nitwits in Cowboys jerseys out of the stadium around the third or fourth before the alcohol fully kicks in.

Red Sox.

When I was 9, a teenage girl with down syndrome punched me in the face as we fought for a batting practice ball at Tiger Stadium.

Stinky feet will throw you off your game. Fact.

dunno how the new boots will do my feet. but wet feet will make me sad and the boots will at least keep them dry.

I caught a Jimmy Rollins home run ball this past season in Pittsburgh. True story. I have it in a glass case on my dresser.

True story? During Desert Storm, I had a white man's face with the letters U-S-A shaved into the back of my head and I also had two lines shaved in my eyebrow. :ohmy:

He's the shyest lewd person you'll ever "meet". We aint getting no photo. G-d this thread has reminded me how much I hate the Red Sox and their fans. (Not you Varitek, or anything you said, just in general)

:lmao: but i call the bullshit.

last summer I was at that crazy ass sox-angels game where we kept exchanging the lead torturously, well we'd been losing by a lot and there was this really loud and obnoxious and brave angels fan behind me in my section. then we tied and EVERYONE gave him shit right back. then we went ahead, more shit. then we blew the lead, and as soon as we tied it they ejected the angels fan for his own safety.

man i have seen so many people ejected. our season tix are behind a group sales/birthday party section and one time this woman physically threatened my mother for nicely asking her if she and her kid could only hold up the sign when batters weren't up so we (and the 2 rows behind us which we're friends with) could see the game. she was being really threatening and i told security, who kept an eye on her. then the whole obnoxious party went under to get more beer and never returned, leaving their coats until this one 10 year old kid came back and quickly grabbed all their stuff. we think they managed to get themselves ejected from under the stands.

I'll send it to you as soon as I can find it. My mom just moved and a lot of her stuff is in storage. I looked for some pictures a couple of weeks ago but couldn't find them.

It looked awesome cause I have really dark features, so the letters stood out well.

that is awesome. for the hundreds of games i've been to, half in prime bleachers territory, i've never gotten a ball except one from the bullpen catcher after a game once. never a game ball. last season at a yankees game a cano HR landed in the seat behind me, it may have hit me in the head had the guy next to me not deflected it. this girl behind us got it but of course you've gotta throw that shit back. fenway ushers are a bitch though, damned if you do, damned if you don't. you don't throw it back, the crowd will lynch you, you do, you get kicked out. i warned her, so she gave it to a guy who wanted to throw it out, he got kicked out.

I actually have a story that I really regret involving Yankee Stadium, the bleachers, two drunken asshole Red Sox fans and a police escort out of the stadium for many of us.

Remind me someday to tell you why I have a bleacher seat from Yankee Stadium. No police escort, but it includes a really drunk Asian and a homeless guy with a fresh three-pack of underwear!

I actually 3/4 of a seat from the Upper Deck.

i could have had a pair of fenway bleacher seats if i'd wanted to pay $450 for them but I am a poor student. and they wouldn't guarantee that you'd get your season seats anyway. i would at least want ones with the right seat numbers on them.

Technically it was BP, but it was most definitely the league MVP who hit it. I stole it from underneath a 6'5" Pittsburgh fan.

He loves baseball. His interference instincts kicked in and he tracked this down. Just like Dalton perks up when bras or boobs or ass or whiskey or Jews are discussed.


Which is why Chiam Potok is my favorite author. All of those things rolled into one novel.


Speaking of which, have you started reading the Brothers K yet?
