So I did not want to bore everyone with my work but April 19 we had our Spring Football Game and we had a men's lacrosse game before it and we tried to break some attendance records. I am happy to say we got 29,601 to see the lacrosse game which was a regular game season attendance record and for the Spring Game we had 77,000 + which was an Ohio State record, even though we had a rainy day which held some people back but I will take it. Any way I wanted to talk about the Cincinnati Reds game I went to on Monday night. We got some good seats for free about 13 rows up from the Dodgers bench. Now with good seats like these and a few beers in you it only leads to some good old fashion heckling. Just to set the record I am in favor of heckling in baseball if it is in all good clean fun, I do not use swears but just fun heckling. So it started with making fun of Andrew Jones who used to be a good hitter for the Braves but when he got to the Dodgers he got so bad that he was batting 8th, just in front of the pitcher, that was an easy one. A few beers later it went on to other Dodger players all getting chuckles from the fans around us. Then I had a heckle that brought the house down (more like the few rows around me who thought it was funny). There was this Dodgers fan who was sitting front row and cheering like a good loyal fan was, but when you are in the opposing teams house you should expect some heckling. Here is a photo of him I took:

So here is the story, a foul ball came his way and he caught it and began to stand and cheer about how awesome he was for catching a foul ball. The fans around the area began to boo him once the boo's ended was my time to shine. Just when it was quite enough I yelled out, "Go back to your mom's basement to play video games" This got some good laughs from the people that heard it, I even got a high five from some guys around me. I thought it was so funny that I had to tell other people after the fact what I had said and now I am telling you way after the fact, but I still find it funny. It has gone down as one of my finest moments in life.
