We had a wicked thunder 'n lightening storm this afternoon but it cleared up before the start of the game. Alas, the dome stayed closed.
It wasn't too bad at first but after a while it got really hot and muggy in there.Our seats were in the fifth level, between home and first base. A great spot at $12 a ticket!
Eric Hinske used to be my favourite Blue Jay ... he's with the Yankees now.
Here's Vernon Wells.
And here's Gord and I.
We had ... er ... interesting people around us.The guy to the left of me ate non-stop ... non-stop! He kept hauling McDonald's burgers and sandwiches one-by-one (there were at least five) from his knapsack ... then he got a big Slush ... then his buddy got him an ice cream sundae. And if he wasn't eating, he was yakking to everyone (I ignored him).
The four guys behind us arrived hammered ... and then proceeded to order and drink more beer. They soooooo shouldn't have been served more! They were really really loud and said a lot of words that rhyme with truck, hunt, trigger, mothertrucker, etc. No respect, especially because there were kids around them. They spilled beer on us a few times ... we were polite about it and asked them to be more careful. Finally we got pissed off and moved to the "family section", two sections away. I don't mind people having a good time ... I've had beer at ballgames (not tonight cuz I have to work tomorrow). But these guys were waaaaaaay out of line.
The guys in the red box were the drinkers and the guy in the green box is the eater.
It was an exciting game but Toronto lost 5 to 3.
Sounds like you had an interesting evening...I would of moved too, but I probably would of had words with them, which isn't always a good thing...people are so rude sometimes, and have no common sense, if your not in your own livingroom, don't act like you are.
ReplyDeleteThese guys were so wasted that they probably would have wanted to fight ... I wasn't in the mood to get killed.
ReplyDeleteDrunken asshats suck. Sorry that you and Gord had to put up with them for as long as you did.
ReplyDeleteYou two are so cute! Look for my dad there! He's got season's tix! :)
ReplyDelete"said a lot of words that rhyme with truck, hunt, trigger, mothertrucker, etc."
ReplyDeleteLOL - hilarious.
I love how you took their photos and did the boxes. Now people can avoid the "rhymes-with-classpoles" and the hungry guy!
I've never been to a baseball game before. I'm sorry those people made it hard to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you here.
Have a great day!
To ME? This sounds like no fun at all! I have no patience with loud nasty talking drunks---especially, i would be worrying about who is the "designated driver"...these people are a menace on the road. Killers Behind The Wheel!
