The700Level has a great photo from last night’s game 1 in Tampa St. Petersburg. Immediately when I saw this play last night I thought to myself that would never have just happened in Philadelphia… Boston… New York… etc.
We are talking about a 1 or 2 run game at the time (I forget what inning this was in and it is not worth hunting for). We are talking about a game 1 in the playoffs. We are talking about a playoff series called the World Series.There is a bit on the line here.
Looking at the picture, there’s one d-bag in a mesh hat who is letting Howard post up on him with terrible position. You have a second d-bag “fan” in the visor just looking to not take it in the face. (Note: it might be a female, might be a dude, I dunno but I do know they are wearing a visor indoors at a night game so they clearly think it is a good fashion statement) How does this happen?
First of all, Howard is reaching into the stands making it legal for a fan to play the ball as long as they are not unnecessarily rough. Secondly, F-it. It’s the World Series. Do you want to go down as the reverse-Bartman?
The “fans” of the Rays are not gaining any respect from me with behavior like this. The only thing worse would be if visor-fan had a cowbell in her hands.
I’m actually pretty tight with the President of the United Visor Council. He assures me that a nighttime indoor visor is quite fashionable. As is a green sweatshirt/black shorts combo.
BTW, anyone notice what’s happening to the small child in the lower right corner?
