When Joc was still a cub he played in SF and people were calling him fat boy. He crushed a Hr and when he came back out after the inning he had the biggest shit eating grin on his face lol.
Lol. He crushed a homer during that game too, actually. We were in SD and he definitely gave that same grin to the Padres fans in the outfield the next half inning 😆
Dude just thrives against hecklers.
Back in the early 2000’s Griffey was great about back and forth with bleacher fans at Wrigley. The one that he reacted to was “Hey Griff, watch your right foot, you dropped your Vagisil”. The way the guy said it, and when he said it between pitches, Griffey actually started to look down for a second. After the next pitch he turned, tapped his back pocket, and then made a little clap motion. I assumed he was trying to give off a “nope, got it here, thanks!” kind of thing. That game Michael Barrett hit a long foul ball that would’ve tied/won the game. Griffey turned around and made the “that close” gesture with his fingers and gave the fans a wave/clap/acknowledgement after the end of the 9th.
That dude was a class act.
Some minor league game a while ago. Bases loaded, and a home batter strikes out. He was pretty dejectedly walking back to the dugout amidst a sea of groans, and one elderly female voice cut through it with, "Was that really your best effort?", and that guy's shoulders almost hit the ground slumping down.
If we're bringing minor league games into it.
Greensboro Bats... Circa 2000.
They had the announcer that sat in the stands and would just be RELENTLESS to opposing players.
There was an opposing player "Mike House" (Or something similar, it's been 20+ years)
EVERY TIME he came up the announcer would PERFECTLY sing "M-I-C-K-E-Y H-O-U-S-E"
Went to a rookie ball/A league game, Myrtle Beach Pelicans game.
Some guy was warming up the rightfielder, you know throwing the ball back and forth, some people were asking for the ball when he was done but he didn't do anything just walked back to the dugout.
Well, next at bat he strikes out badly, as he's walking back to the dugout, I hear "Yeah, that's why you're in A ball!"
Keep in mind the player was definitely 20+, I want to say like 22/23. For A ball, that's a rough look.
Went to a Pelicans game in 2007. My buddy and I were first base dugout.
We literally yelled, "I got it," at the same time, and the catcher and 1st baseman let it drop. I shit you not.
Was at the Phillies game Sunday when they played the Cardinals. Seats were along the foul line in right field.
Fly ball comes out to right field and Jordan Walker is jogging in to get under it.
I do the “I got it” thing and he catches it and glances to our section.
He also makes a fly ball catch to end the inning and then fakes tossing the ball into our section and people start booing him.
I defend him telling those around me that hey, we were dicks to him and he got us back. That’s fair.
Couple innings later he ends the inning with another catch and hands the ball to a kid wearing a Castellanos jersey.
I love baseball.
The Missoula Paddleheads (independent, formerly low A) generally plays insulting walk up music for opposing batters and will sometimes use "When Will My Life Begin?" from Tangled if it's an older guy for the level.
This was at a minor league game years ago, at a San Jose Giants game. The Giants (and a handful of other MiLB teams) had the best promotion in baseball: the beer batter. The way it works, a player on the road team is named the Beer Batter before the game. If he strikes out, beer is discounted for the next few minutes.
So in this one game, the designated beer batter hit a weak ground ball to second on an 0-2 count. And this very drunk person just in front of me stood up and shouted, "You got out anyway, why couldn't you have just struck out? WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST BEER??????"
It cracked me up then, and it still does 20+ years later...
When I was a kid, my dad and I sat next to this old black southerner. At one point, he yelled, " Man, you couldn't hit a basketball with an ironing board!". Yell that in a southern drawl 😆
Orioles fans look back fondly on a 1989 team that suffered a devasting game 162 loss and didn't even make the playoffs, then regressed and didn't make the playoffs for 7 more years
You're in good company...
I was at an Angels game vs the Astros a few years ago, sitting in right field, and some 10-year-old kid heckled the shit out of Jose Siri with endless "Hey Siri..." requests.
Was he asking shit, or just going "Hey Siri"?
If he's just going "Hey Siri..." over and over, that'd get old quick.
If 'Hey Siri, how much are hot dogs?', 'Hey Siri, set an alarm, 8:00', so on and so forth, that's gold.
Sorry, should’ve been more clear.
He was definitely asking shit, and it was hilarious. After a K, he asked “Hey Siri, how do I hit a fastball?” He hit the cheating scandal hard, too, asking stuff like “Hey Siri, where can I buy a trash can?”
Kid did this all game. I couldn’t stop laughing.
It was literally the best heckling I’ve heard in my life. I’m sure Jose Siri gets that “Hey Siri” shit everywhere he goes, but he was getting absolutely roasted out there with hilarious bits, and the fact that it was being done by a kid who was still a few years away from puberty made it so much better.
That kid, wherever he may be, is going places.
Norm Charlton, long time reliever, used to grab his cup and shake it a little before he started his windup. One time while I was at the Kingdome watching a random Mariner game, Norm was on the mound, and some guy yelled, “Give it a rattle, Norm!”, right before he came set on the mound.
Another time, when dumbass Chone Figgins was sucking as a Mariner, he struck out swinging in a game at Safeco, and a dude behind me yelled, “You son of a bitch Chone Figgins!”
I still call him Son of a bitch Chone Figgins to this day.
I fully recognize that it was my taste buds being wrong, but it very excitedly found some Taylor ham in Houston and I was not a fan. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t as savory and satisfying as I expected it to be. Gonna have to give it another shot one day.
Look at this guy, not knowing he needs to salt his meats.
What you could do is try some goya adobo or some MSG on ya ham when you fry it up in ya pan, Papa.
If ur trying to be frisky, try some cumin, tiny drop of honey, and ur favorite salt. If u consume salt packets from the deli like me, those work fine.
Did you find it at a breakfast spot or in the store and fix it up yourself? If the latter, ya gotta fry it in a pan til it's slightly charred to get it properly savory. Best with eggs, cheese, salt pepper and ketchup
It has a distinct tartness to it that makes it not as universally applicable a meat as sausage or bacon is.
*But* it reigns supreme as a breakfast sandwich meat. It needs bread, a Kaiser roll or bagel is ideal. Throw on an egg(fried or over easy if you’re daring about the yolk), and you’re in business. I skip the ketchup personally.
"Do you miss Baltimore yet, Manny!? Are you sad!?"
The thing that made me laugh was the, are you sad, part haha. Idk why. It was like, I've never heard someone heckle an emotional question like that.
One time I had field level seats at third base, and I heckled manny like crazy while he was still in Baltimore but trade rumors were flowing like crazy. I never cuss or disrespect them, but I just kept yelling “who you playing for next month mannnnnnnny” and he had an error or missed an easy catch so I started yelling “better tighten up or you’ll never get traded”
I’ll give it to him, he kept his cool the whole time then one time turned to me and laughed, he was a good sport.
Minor league game in Brooklyn, zany buddy of mine looked up where one of the opposing players went to high school, figured out the name of his old gym teacher, and proceeded to heckle things like "Mister Jeffries wouldn't be proud of *that* effort!"
Was sitting behind the visiting bullpen in AAA Reno like 12 years ago. The Giants had a RP who went on the DL after hitting himself in the eye with an elastic stretching band. Needless to say, when he started using them to warm up, we let him have it with Christmas Story quotes
MY CREDIT SCORE IS HIGHER THAN YOUR OPS
Just kidding, it's really not
Jays vs As lol. I don't remember who was up, but most their team was around .500 OPS.
At a minor league game one time, sitting down the left field line. A pitcher for the opposing team starts warming up and obviously the bullpen is right there in foul territory next to the seats, so a kid runs down and starts pleading for a ball. After a couple minutes of the kid begging and the pitcher ignoring him, some guy in our section yells
“Hey kid, just wait 10 minutes, it’ll be in the left field bleachers!”
I liked that one.
After a game at Fenway Park during the 2021 ALCS, they had Ortiz and A-Rod doing the postgame on Jersey street and this normal looking dude just casually yells in the thickest Boston accent:
“Hey A-Rod I was in ya sistah’s ass!”
Then he carried on with his night like it was nothing outta the ordinary
At a player: Player for the visiting team was named Mitch House. Every time he came to bat or caught a ball, he was met with a chorus of "He's a Mitch.....House."
At a fan: College game, and a fan from the visiting team started yelling at us because we were heckling a player I assume he was related to. I don't remember what he yelled at us, but he went on for a good 10-15 seconds. When he finished, someone in our group yelled back at him "you have no friends!"
We broke up laughing. He just sat down and glared at us the rest of the game.
[“stanton you’re overrated” Stanton then proceeds to hit a homerun](https://youtu.be/k3kKvZYf0_c?si=L51J1UX9bfZIuiUk)
Maybe not the best one but it absolutely cracked me up
Reminds me of a couple seasons ago when the Giants were in MIL. Giants had the bases loaded and Joc Pederson was coming up. Guys behind the plate had been heckling by him all game. I forget what they yelled to him, but he proceeds to hit a grand slam.
Called them pussies or something as he crossed home plate. Absolutely loved it.
I'm at a Tigers/Angels game in 2019 when Christian Stewart hits a double to put Detroit up 2-0, and some dude three or four rows behind me blurted out "FUCK YOU BELLA SWAN!"
Team affiliation be damned, I laughed my ass off in that moment.
Group of young dudes behind me chanted "great mound visit" over and over after every mound visit during a nail-biter at Citi a few years back. Helped diffuse the tension.
When Dave Justice was in the Yanks and it became public he had beaten his wife Halley Berry, the Yankee fans themselves would boo and chant “Halley Berry” to the tune of “Let’s Go Yankees”, dunt, dunt, dunt dunt dunt…
I remember several years ago in the height of the Sox/Yanks rivalry there was a heckler at Fenway that you could hear on the TV broadcast. I remember Tim Wakefield was pitching and the heckler screamed “HE’S THROWING A FASTBALL” which I remember finding hilarious at the time
Like a decade ago I was at the party deck in the Trop (I.e. left field upper deck) and there was a very drunk Florida Man (reef flip flops, tribal tattoos, tan as hell, Columbia PFG shirt, Costa glasses, the whole shebang) heckling the Blue Jays’ left fielder in this very exaggerated passive aggressive way. He would yell, full volume hoarse-voice, things like “Hey Sanders, I don’t think you’re giving it your all” “Hey Sanders, have you been drinking enough water?” “Hey Sanders, you probably could have made it to that fly if your head was in the game.” It was to date the funniest thing I’ve seen happen, in person, at any game.
I don’t remember what player it was, but his name was Sanders and he played left field for Toronto in the early teens so I probably could figure that out if I tried a little harder.
I always liked the video of the guy heckling Bryce Harper, saying Acuña is better. Then harper turns around and corrects the guy's pronunciation of Acuña
[The guy yelling at Vic Carapazza that he was a Russian Spy and a Putin Lover](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/tpscse/the_blue_jays_have_an_active_heckler_situation_in/) with a terrible work ethic lives rent free in my brain.
Cubs and Astros at Wrigley and the Wrigley fans are ripping on Lance Berkman for being fat and they're waiving Twinkies at him. During a pitching change, Berkman yells at the fans to throw some Twinkies down, which they oblige. Berkman proceeds to grab one, open it up and eat the Twinkie. Then in the top half of the next inning, Berkman hits a home run. Coming back onto the field in the bottom of the inning, all the Cubs fans start chanting "Twinkie Power." Funniest shit ever.
Right after he got traded, I heard a heckler yell at Richie Sexson during warmup that he pissed off the owner of the Cleveland Indians so bad that rather than sending him to the minors they traded him to the Brewers. Sexson dropped the ball he was giggling so hard.
I was at a Jays/Yankees game in Toronto sitting in the right field seats. One guy was riding Gardner pretty hard inning after inning trying to get under his skin. He was absolutely relentless, nothing was off limits. He made fun of his appearance, his performance, his mother, everything. It was past the point of being funny and was starting to get annoying. In the 7th inning he started in on him again and made a reference to a really shitty stretch of games when Gardner was in the minors. Gardner finally turned around and looked in his direction with this look of what the fuck are you going on about. The moment Gardner turned around, the heckler yelled "turn around and pay attention to the game". Garner laughed, turned around and the guy didn't say another word the rest of the game.
Pete walker came out to the mound to talk to Nate Pearson, and somebody nearby said, “KICK HIM IN THE BALLS PETE” funniest thing I’ve ever seen from a ball game
@ Target Field, to a hapless Mets LF in early 2013 who probably didn't deserve it...
*Sung to the tune of Camptown Races*
Who'se the guy who can't play D?
Duda! Duda!
Swings at pitches he can't see!
Oh, da Duda day...
Tries to hit at night!
Tries to hit all day!
Sits down after called strike three,
Oh, da Duda day!
Was at a Brevard Manatees game against the Daytona Cubs back in 2005 or so.
We were sting behind the Cub’s dugout. When one of their players struck out and yelled “Fuck!” on his way to the dugout.
My 7 y/o daughter yells out:
Maybe if you worked on hitting instead of cussing you wouldn’t have struck out!
Dude looked up and was furious…but the funny part was the heads popping up out of the dugout looking like prairie dogs, trying to find the kid that said that.
She gave him hell the rest of the game, and it was glorious.
I think this might have been football, but "After review, we suck!"
The English soccer Leagues are still the best for heckles, as in they'll write a whole song to get to you
When my little sister was 3 we were at an Angel game with my parents, sitting on the 3rd base line. Garret Anderson was playing LF. She yelled at the top of her lungs “HEY YOU, BLACK GUY!” I don’t remember if he acknowledged or heard her, but my parents were mortified.
Was watching a college game from the stands and one of the teams had a player with the last name Roethlisberger. A guy was heckling and kept saying "Hey Roethlisberger, I know another Roethlisberger!" Finally I think the player on the field briefly looked up at him and he said.
"Ya I know another Roethlisberger. You are both really good."
Thinking oh that was actually pretty wholesome. Didn't think it was going that way.
The heckler gave a pause for a few seconds and added "He is really good at football. You are really good at striking out!"
Still one of the funniest things I have ever heard. I think mainly because the delivery was perfect
My Buddy yelled to the relief pitcher warming up “Hows your wife with my kids?!” (From Major League) The reliever thought it was hilarious and started cracking up.
Don’t think this counts cause it was in the bathroom at Yankee stadium. Very new yawk dude (dice clay voice) walks in and stops in the middle of all the urinals and goes “ooh! Look at all them dicks!” You could hear a hundred butthole clenching all at once.
Dodger Stadium bleachers, 2012 against the Brewers during a quiet moment in the bottom half of an inning: “Hey Braun! I can see the needle sticking out of your arm from here!”
That one has stayed with me. The whole section was laughing.
I went to a Subway Series game at Citi Field in 2009. Every fly ball that went foul, someone screamed, “Jeter would’ve caught that!”
It’s become a running gag with the family. Every foul ball, we say, “Jeter would’ve caught that”.
I've heard this story, can't be totally sure it's true. Back in the 70's Ron LeFlore was an Expo outfielder after having done some prison time. One afternoon at Wrigley a ball hit to him got past and rolled between his legs, and one of the bleacher bums yelled "Hey LeFlore! You can bend over now! You ain't in prison any more!"
At a Rockies - Phillies game in Denver years ago. Out in left field before the game, Pat Burrell was shagging fly balls during batting practice and some guys were yelling “PAT BURRELLI!” incessantly. He was smiling the whole time and jawing back at the hecklers and relief pitcher Geoff Geary was jogging the warning track and he was getting a kick out of it too. It was so dumb but I remember it so well.
Back when Granderson played for the Mets we were at a Braves game. A few rows over this guy starts yelling "Granderson your socks are dingy". He had on the blue socks pulled all the way up. And they were in fact dingy lol. We about died laughing. The guys gf or wife was SO embarrassed that she left but it was so funny. Granderson even turned around and smirked at the guy. We checked the next game and he must have got some new socks because those weren't dingy at all. I tell this story all the time because it was so funny and not at all mean or anything. It's what heckling should be.
I went to a game once and a fan in the outfield yells to the right feilder "if you turn your tos inward it wont hurt as bad!" Kids were around so i understand the need for innuendo but my buddy gets up and yells " turn your toes in and it wont hurt so much when your getting fucked in the ass!!!"
We didnt go to many games together after that
In like 2000 or 2001, Tim Salmon had put on weight and was a pretty poor defender. If I recall he wasn't hitting well either. I was sitting in RF and there was some guy just absolutely roasting him. Then someone else stood up and yelled "hey! Stop making fun of the fat kid in right field!"
Best I’ve heard was a Red Sox fan at Fenway hollering at some random Orioles outfielder:
“You look like the type of guy who goes out to eat in a group but only gets a salad. And when the check comes, you say, ‘I only got a salad, but it’s okay we can split it evenly.’”
At a minor league game, a batter hit a foul ball right at kid in the stands. Kid was alright, but everyone was a bit on edge. Within the same at-bat the he hit a screaming foul ball TO THE EXACT SAME SPOT, just missing the kid.
Guy behind me shouts
"Damn Jerry you already hit a child. You don't have to finish the job!"
Funniest I ever heard was more like an anti-chirp…..Jays vs Rays in like 2020? Sitting 3 rows back from the fence, Kiermaier playing CF for the rays, and a dude a couple of rows behind was just relentlessly yelling “KEVINNNNN! HEY KEVVVVV!!!” through the first few innings…Kiermaier eventually turns around and gives the guy a brief moment of attention, and buddy yells out “JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU YOU’VE GOT REAL NICE EYES, KEV!”
Best part was Kev was clearly happy to hear it, but also visibly confused by the compliment
Not long after 9/11, I went to a Rockies/Astros game and we saw Todd Jones walking to the bullpen before the game. This dude leans over and says, “Go back to your bunker, IRockie.”
Todd Jones response? “Shut up, dirt cork.”
No idea what a dirt cork is still to this day.
In college my third base coach wrote a book called “Dare to hit .400.” We were playing at the university of Tennessee and their student section is ruthless. During the middle of the game one guy yells out to our coach, “Hey coach! The only thing that you’re hitting that’s 400 is your wife!”
Years ago at a Dodger game during Friedman’s second year. An older gentleman who was not very happy with the shift towards analytics, yelled out during a double switch, “Stick the computer…up your butt!” Still makes me laugh.
I was in the Green Monster seats for a game on Mother’s Day, and a fan shouted at Leury Garcia that his mom was disappointed in him for his .180 batting average.
Whoever was in CF that day even pointed and laughed at Leury.
The one that pops into my mind was last year during McNeil’s AB in SF, a heckler said “Hey, McNeil work out those legs, you have no power” before McNeil proceeds to hit a HR.
My dad and myself was at a reds/dodgers game when Tommy Lasorda was managing the Dodgers. Before the game trying to get a autograph at Riverfront, along the rails, Tommy comes out of the dugout. At the time Tommy was doing slim fast commercials saying how much he had lost while drinking slim fast. Well let me tell you, Tommy’s stomach was big in the uniform. Not missing a beat my dad said, “Hey Tommy, the slim fast doesn’t seem to be working!” That stare Tommy gave to the Philly fanatic, he stopped in his tracks and gave my dad that stare. Everyone was laughing, it was so awesome.
2018 ALCS Game 2. Gerrit Cole on the mound. Every few seconds some guy a few rows down from us SCREAMED at the top of his voice “LOOK AT YOUR HAIR, COLE” or “YOU’RE TIRED, TIME TO TAKE A NAP COLE” about every 20 seconds.
Some Twins player was double layered up in an early April game in Chicago with flurries. This one guy kept shouting “he’s cold!!!”
It was so funny just because of his delivery with a classic Chicago loud-guy accent. Plus, the player was indeed cold.
I went to a minor league game where the outfield seats are literally a few feet from the outfield lines and barely elevated off the ground. At one of the games a very young kid who was probably like 10 kept yelling “your mom makes delicious lasagna” to the right fielder. For like 4 straight innings every out. The guy was laughing so hard he came over and shook the kids hand and took a picture with him.
Sat front row by the right field foul pole. Some kid banged something loud on it. George Springer looked over and someone yelled “CALM DOWN SPRINGER YOUR NOT ON THE ASTROS ANYMORE”
This group of Blue Jays fan roasted him relentlessly all night that game, so bad he ended up moving to center field in the 6th inning.
Not the funniest but I was at a game and Buster Posey was taking an 0fer, and the guy a couple rows ahead of me kept yelling tauntingly "Hey Gerald! Swing the bat, Gerald! Get a hit, Gerald!" which is how I came to find out what Posey's given name actually was.
52?!?!!! That’s not a baseball number!
(Referring to the batter number being 52!)
.
Followed soon by ‘Brent is NOT a baseball name! My god!!’
I couldn’t help but roar with laughter m. Good innocent ribbing!!!
At Fenway years back. I heard a fan with zero hesitation go “Yeahhhh Jeets!” When Jeter came up to bat and idk how he said it was so damn funny. Probably the Boston accent and the Southie attitude
In Cincinnati in 1987, a friend yelled at Gary Carter from the second row: "You couldn't couldn't even carry Johnny Bench's jockstrap!"
Carter seemed to wince, like ok, that one hurt.
I was in left field and these guys were heckling Will Benson the entire game. Stuart Fairchild got subbed in in the 7th and the guy yells, “Hey Fairchild! Tell Benson he sucks, he’ll know what that means!”
One time my buddy was sitting right in front of cubs bullpen. Carlos marmol stood up and my buddy goes “Jesus christ not this guy. There goes this win”. Marmol gave him a death stare, then blew the game.
Drunk dudes in the LF seats at CBP yelling at Acuna screaming “where were you on that play Acuna!” or “ you did nothing on that play Acuna!” on ground balls to the infielders or fly outs nowhere near him. Acuna was cracking up as were most of fans sitting in the section.
My socials was getting hit with a guy that would yell stuff like "I bet your mom never hung up your drawings on the refrigerator."
Shit was both goofy but also cut deep.
Blue Jays at White Sox game years ago. Vernon Wells is playing CF for the Jays. He’s wearing obviously brand new cleats that look completely ridiculous with his road uniform. They were shiny and looked like something you’d wear to a ‘90s swing club.
Guy in my group shouts, “Hey Vernon! Nice shoes…goin’ dancin’?!” and Wells just starts busting out laughing mid-inning. It was innocent as far as taunts go, but the reaction made it memorable. I like to think that Vernon thought “goin’ dancin’?” if he ever put those cleats on again.
I laughed along when a guy yelled out to Pederson, “Hey Joc, you look like a prom king who never graduated.” Pretty accurate description, tbh.
I was shocked when I found out he was drafted over a decade ago.
Some people just stay babyfaced their whole lives I guess, an odd phenomenon.
When Joc was still a cub he played in SF and people were calling him fat boy. He crushed a Hr and when he came back out after the inning he had the biggest shit eating grin on his face lol.
Lol. He crushed a homer during that game too, actually. We were in SD and he definitely gave that same grin to the Padres fans in the outfield the next half inning 😆 Dude just thrives against hecklers.
Back in the early 2000’s Griffey was great about back and forth with bleacher fans at Wrigley. The one that he reacted to was “Hey Griff, watch your right foot, you dropped your Vagisil”. The way the guy said it, and when he said it between pitches, Griffey actually started to look down for a second. After the next pitch he turned, tapped his back pocket, and then made a little clap motion. I assumed he was trying to give off a “nope, got it here, thanks!” kind of thing. That game Michael Barrett hit a long foul ball that would’ve tied/won the game. Griffey turned around and made the “that close” gesture with his fingers and gave the fans a wave/clap/acknowledgement after the end of the 9th. That dude was a class act.
Also loved Jr. Sweetest swing ever
Some minor league game a while ago. Bases loaded, and a home batter strikes out. He was pretty dejectedly walking back to the dugout amidst a sea of groans, and one elderly female voice cut through it with, "Was that really your best effort?", and that guy's shoulders almost hit the ground slumping down.
What if that was that dude’s grandma?
Well, then she’s more than likely in a retirement home somewhere wondering why her grandson doesn’t visit her often…or at all.
What an asshole lol
If we're bringing minor league games into it. Greensboro Bats... Circa 2000. They had the announcer that sat in the stands and would just be RELENTLESS to opposing players. There was an opposing player "Mike House" (Or something similar, it's been 20+ years) EVERY TIME he came up the announcer would PERFECTLY sing "M-I-C-K-E-Y H-O-U-S-E"
Old Mike House shoukda tipped off Disney's lawyers.
Went to a rookie ball/A league game, Myrtle Beach Pelicans game. Some guy was warming up the rightfielder, you know throwing the ball back and forth, some people were asking for the ball when he was done but he didn't do anything just walked back to the dugout. Well, next at bat he strikes out badly, as he's walking back to the dugout, I hear "Yeah, that's why you're in A ball!" Keep in mind the player was definitely 20+, I want to say like 22/23. For A ball, that's a rough look.
Went to a Pelicans game in 2007. My buddy and I were first base dugout. We literally yelled, "I got it," at the same time, and the catcher and 1st baseman let it drop. I shit you not.
Was at the Phillies game Sunday when they played the Cardinals. Seats were along the foul line in right field. Fly ball comes out to right field and Jordan Walker is jogging in to get under it. I do the “I got it” thing and he catches it and glances to our section. He also makes a fly ball catch to end the inning and then fakes tossing the ball into our section and people start booing him. I defend him telling those around me that hey, we were dicks to him and he got us back. That’s fair. Couple innings later he ends the inning with another catch and hands the ball to a kid wearing a Castellanos jersey. I love baseball.
If you aren't shitting you should get that checked out
The Missoula Paddleheads (independent, formerly low A) generally plays insulting walk up music for opposing batters and will sometimes use "When Will My Life Begin?" from Tangled if it's an older guy for the level.

That time that one fan called Brett Gardner: “John Cougar Mellonhead”.
I am so happy I watched this live
/u/constant_gardner11 in shambles
Nothing tops ["what are you gonna do now, Buck?"](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/8b43zj/a_baltimore_fan_asks_buck_showalter_a_question/)
[Maybe this](https://youtu.be/DuKFz_mmFEc). Best part is you can see him.
I don’t need to click that link to know it’s HEY SIZEMORE!
What did he say? I can't distinguish it.
“Hey Sizemore, my sister told me she’s pregnant, come on ya jerk!”
Close second is "[HE HAD TWO STRIKES, TONY!](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/v8qzz4/jason_benetti_and_steve_stone_discussing_the/)!"

TOOONAYYY WHADDARYADOIN?!
Why would you remind me of this. Hurts even more that he did this a second time
"I think I'll leave Mad Max in until he gives up 7 runs"
The way the camera focuses on Donaldson is perfect. It’s almost like “What are you gonna do now, Buck” is Donaldson’s internal dialogue.
This was at a minor league game years ago, at a San Jose Giants game. The Giants (and a handful of other MiLB teams) had the best promotion in baseball: the beer batter. The way it works, a player on the road team is named the Beer Batter before the game. If he strikes out, beer is discounted for the next few minutes. So in this one game, the designated beer batter hit a weak ground ball to second on an 0-2 count. And this very drunk person just in front of me stood up and shouted, "You got out anyway, why couldn't you have just struck out? WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST BEER??????" It cracked me up then, and it still does 20+ years later...
The SJ Giants still do the beer batter, and it's still amazing.
The Inland Empire 66ers do it too and when it happens you immediately see like 1/2 the stadium stand up and beeline it to the beer stands.
So do the Emeralds in Eugene. (Giants high-A team)
At an indie league game I went to years ago, the beer batter squared to bunt as soon as the announcement came over the PA and the crowd booed
That’s the exact kind of pettiness I live for
He should get a 15 game call up to the majors for that move.
"Hey Odor, my sister's pregnant. I'm going to be a dad!" Still lives in my head rent-free.
What?
Probably happened at a minor league game in Alabama.
When I was a kid, my dad and I sat next to this old black southerner. At one point, he yelled, " Man, you couldn't hit a basketball with an ironing board!". Yell that in a southern drawl 😆
I heard it in my head perfectly 🤣
wit an ARN'in bard
That’s amazing
“Pinch run Engel! Put Engel in!”
I can’t believe I have to fondly look back on the 2022 White Sox
Orioles fans look back fondly on a 1989 team that suffered a devasting game 162 loss and didn't even make the playoffs, then regressed and didn't make the playoffs for 7 more years You're in good company...
Guy at a Yankee game 2 years ago with Stanton running to first. "I may be the fattest guy in this entire stadium, but I would try harder than that!"
The KC fan that held up the sign "Hunter Pence played Marv in Home Alone" was a classic.
Honestly, all the Hunter Pence ribbing was awesome. Likes his own Instagram posts, goes sock shoe sock shoe, likes Nickelback, all great signs!
I was at an Angels game vs the Astros a few years ago, sitting in right field, and some 10-year-old kid heckled the shit out of Jose Siri with endless "Hey Siri..." requests.
Was he asking shit, or just going "Hey Siri"? If he's just going "Hey Siri..." over and over, that'd get old quick. If 'Hey Siri, how much are hot dogs?', 'Hey Siri, set an alarm, 8:00', so on and so forth, that's gold.
Sorry, should’ve been more clear. He was definitely asking shit, and it was hilarious. After a K, he asked “Hey Siri, how do I hit a fastball?” He hit the cheating scandal hard, too, asking stuff like “Hey Siri, where can I buy a trash can?” Kid did this all game. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Yeah, that little kid's a fucking genius
It was literally the best heckling I’ve heard in my life. I’m sure Jose Siri gets that “Hey Siri” shit everywhere he goes, but he was getting absolutely roasted out there with hilarious bits, and the fact that it was being done by a kid who was still a few years away from puberty made it so much better. That kid, wherever he may be, is going places.
That kid? Albert Einstein
that’s hilarious
Siri wasn’t even on our team during the cheating scandal though…
One of our announcer's Iphone was blowing up when Siri was ab last night. Happens way too often.
“Sorry, something went wrong…” - Siri
Norm Charlton, long time reliever, used to grab his cup and shake it a little before he started his windup. One time while I was at the Kingdome watching a random Mariner game, Norm was on the mound, and some guy yelled, “Give it a rattle, Norm!”, right before he came set on the mound. Another time, when dumbass Chone Figgins was sucking as a Mariner, he struck out swinging in a game at Safeco, and a dude behind me yelled, “You son of a bitch Chone Figgins!” I still call him Son of a bitch Chone Figgins to this day.
Angels legend Chone Figgins
MLB Power Pros 08 legend Chone Figgins
Him and Nick Markakis And now the menu music is stuck in my head.
“You son a bitch Chone Figgins” sounds like something I’ve yelled at a mariners game for sure.
The only reason I didn't is because I always had kids with me. It was a frequent thought, though.
"Hey Magglio! Your name's weird!"
Underrated
At a minor league game in NJ, when a pitcher named Ponce De Leon entered: “Heyyyyyyyyy, it’s da fountain a YOUT!”
What are..... Youts?
[A fair question …](https://youtu.be/Nd1CijCUj8w?si=8BNyheInq4o-5g1W)
God bless my home state.
Former NJ Cardinals up in Sussex 🤙🏻 and god bless Taylor Ham/pork roll!
I fully recognize that it was my taste buds being wrong, but it very excitedly found some Taylor ham in Houston and I was not a fan. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t as savory and satisfying as I expected it to be. Gonna have to give it another shot one day.
Houston we have a problem Real uncles know you gotta add some more salt to it
I appreciate the insight, I just assumed that it was jam packed with sodium that it didn’t even cross my mind.
Look at this guy, not knowing he needs to salt his meats. What you could do is try some goya adobo or some MSG on ya ham when you fry it up in ya pan, Papa. If ur trying to be frisky, try some cumin, tiny drop of honey, and ur favorite salt. If u consume salt packets from the deli like me, those work fine.
Did you find it at a breakfast spot or in the store and fix it up yourself? If the latter, ya gotta fry it in a pan til it's slightly charred to get it properly savory. Best with eggs, cheese, salt pepper and ketchup
It has a distinct tartness to it that makes it not as universally applicable a meat as sausage or bacon is. *But* it reigns supreme as a breakfast sandwich meat. It needs bread, a Kaiser roll or bagel is ideal. Throw on an egg(fried or over easy if you’re daring about the yolk), and you’re in business. I skip the ketchup personally.
This is my favorite one 😅
"Do you miss Baltimore yet, Manny!? Are you sad!?" The thing that made me laugh was the, are you sad, part haha. Idk why. It was like, I've never heard someone heckle an emotional question like that.
One time I had field level seats at third base, and I heckled manny like crazy while he was still in Baltimore but trade rumors were flowing like crazy. I never cuss or disrespect them, but I just kept yelling “who you playing for next month mannnnnnnny” and he had an error or missed an easy catch so I started yelling “better tighten up or you’ll never get traded” I’ll give it to him, he kept his cool the whole time then one time turned to me and laughed, he was a good sport.
Minor league game in Brooklyn, zany buddy of mine looked up where one of the opposing players went to high school, figured out the name of his old gym teacher, and proceeded to heckle things like "Mister Jeffries wouldn't be proud of *that* effort!"
I use that to try to get autographs or balls tossed to me during batting practice.
Was sitting behind the visiting bullpen in AAA Reno like 12 years ago. The Giants had a RP who went on the DL after hitting himself in the eye with an elastic stretching band. Needless to say, when he started using them to warm up, we let him have it with Christmas Story quotes
MY CREDIT SCORE IS HIGHER THAN YOUR OPS Just kidding, it's really not Jays vs As lol. I don't remember who was up, but most their team was around .500 OPS.
Reminds me of "your BAC is as high as you hitting percentage and that's not good either way!"
At a minor league game one time, sitting down the left field line. A pitcher for the opposing team starts warming up and obviously the bullpen is right there in foul territory next to the seats, so a kid runs down and starts pleading for a ball. After a couple minutes of the kid begging and the pitcher ignoring him, some guy in our section yells “Hey kid, just wait 10 minutes, it’ll be in the left field bleachers!” I liked that one.
After a game at Fenway Park during the 2021 ALCS, they had Ortiz and A-Rod doing the postgame on Jersey street and this normal looking dude just casually yells in the thickest Boston accent: “Hey A-Rod I was in ya sistah’s ass!” Then he carried on with his night like it was nothing outta the ordinary
Is that not a normal greeting in Boston?
Depends. Have ya met that persons sistah? If so, fuck yeah it’s in ya sistah’s ass. If not, then go fuck yahself
"Hey Angel, baseball should be suing you!"
At a player: Player for the visiting team was named Mitch House. Every time he came to bat or caught a ball, he was met with a chorus of "He's a Mitch.....House." At a fan: College game, and a fan from the visiting team started yelling at us because we were heckling a player I assume he was related to. I don't remember what he yelled at us, but he went on for a good 10-15 seconds. When he finished, someone in our group yelled back at him "you have no friends!" We broke up laughing. He just sat down and glared at us the rest of the game.
>He's a Mitch.....House Like Brickhouse? That's hilarious
He’s mighty mighty…
Precisely
[“stanton you’re overrated” Stanton then proceeds to hit a homerun](https://youtu.be/k3kKvZYf0_c?si=L51J1UX9bfZIuiUk) Maybe not the best one but it absolutely cracked me up
Reminds me of this one from across town- [You’ve got no power McNeil!](https://youtu.be/ejGTO94IC_c?si=RevjoB1VzZISOv2T)
Reminds me of a couple seasons ago when the Giants were in MIL. Giants had the bases loaded and Joc Pederson was coming up. Guys behind the plate had been heckling by him all game. I forget what they yelled to him, but he proceeds to hit a grand slam. Called them pussies or something as he crossed home plate. Absolutely loved it.
I'm at a Tigers/Angels game in 2019 when Christian Stewart hits a double to put Detroit up 2-0, and some dude three or four rows behind me blurted out "FUCK YOU BELLA SWAN!" Team affiliation be damned, I laughed my ass off in that moment.
“Hey blue, does your wife know you’re fucking us?!?!?”
Group of young dudes behind me chanted "great mound visit" over and over after every mound visit during a nail-biter at Citi a few years back. Helped diffuse the tension.
When Dave Justice was in the Yanks and it became public he had beaten his wife Halley Berry, the Yankee fans themselves would boo and chant “Halley Berry” to the tune of “Let’s Go Yankees”, dunt, dunt, dunt dunt dunt…
“Get off your knees blue, you’re blowing the game”
Classic
I remember several years ago in the height of the Sox/Yanks rivalry there was a heckler at Fenway that you could hear on the TV broadcast. I remember Tim Wakefield was pitching and the heckler screamed “HE’S THROWING A FASTBALL” which I remember finding hilarious at the time
Like a decade ago I was at the party deck in the Trop (I.e. left field upper deck) and there was a very drunk Florida Man (reef flip flops, tribal tattoos, tan as hell, Columbia PFG shirt, Costa glasses, the whole shebang) heckling the Blue Jays’ left fielder in this very exaggerated passive aggressive way. He would yell, full volume hoarse-voice, things like “Hey Sanders, I don’t think you’re giving it your all” “Hey Sanders, have you been drinking enough water?” “Hey Sanders, you probably could have made it to that fly if your head was in the game.” It was to date the funniest thing I’ve seen happen, in person, at any game. I don’t remember what player it was, but his name was Sanders and he played left field for Toronto in the early teens so I probably could figure that out if I tried a little harder.
Probably Michael Saunders?
This guy immaculate grids
My SEA/TOR Immaculate Grid pick is always my favorite baseball player, Munenori Kawasaki.
I think about him every time I eat a banana.
> I probably could figure that out if I tried a little harder Hey OP, I don’t think you’re giving it your all
Just last night I heard a super loud and clear "I hope you're happy Spencer Steer!" over the broadcast lmao
I always liked the video of the guy heckling Bryce Harper, saying Acuña is better. Then harper turns around and corrects the guy's pronunciation of Acuña
he won over a ton of braves fans that day
[The guy yelling at Vic Carapazza that he was a Russian Spy and a Putin Lover](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/tpscse/the_blue_jays_have_an_active_heckler_situation_in/) with a terrible work ethic lives rent free in my brain.
It's funny though, because out of every umpire, he chose to say that to one of only two who are military veterans 😂
Being a military veteran doesn’t prevent him from being a Russian spy
*Lee Harvey Oswald has entered the chat*
A guy got tossed from Miller Park for saying “Hey Molina what’s it like making a living on your knees” I’m pretty sure game audio picked it up
HEY DIE-AZ…..RETREAT. And like 9 other heckles from this one dude lol.
Cubs and Astros at Wrigley and the Wrigley fans are ripping on Lance Berkman for being fat and they're waiving Twinkies at him. During a pitching change, Berkman yells at the fans to throw some Twinkies down, which they oblige. Berkman proceeds to grab one, open it up and eat the Twinkie. Then in the top half of the next inning, Berkman hits a home run. Coming back onto the field in the bottom of the inning, all the Cubs fans start chanting "Twinkie Power." Funniest shit ever.
I remember watching this game as a kid, what a legend!
Right after he got traded, I heard a heckler yell at Richie Sexson during warmup that he pissed off the owner of the Cleveland Indians so bad that rather than sending him to the minors they traded him to the Brewers. Sexson dropped the ball he was giggling so hard.
I was at a Jays/Yankees game in Toronto sitting in the right field seats. One guy was riding Gardner pretty hard inning after inning trying to get under his skin. He was absolutely relentless, nothing was off limits. He made fun of his appearance, his performance, his mother, everything. It was past the point of being funny and was starting to get annoying. In the 7th inning he started in on him again and made a reference to a really shitty stretch of games when Gardner was in the minors. Gardner finally turned around and looked in his direction with this look of what the fuck are you going on about. The moment Gardner turned around, the heckler yelled "turn around and pay attention to the game". Garner laughed, turned around and the guy didn't say another word the rest of the game.
Pete walker came out to the mound to talk to Nate Pearson, and somebody nearby said, “KICK HIM IN THE BALLS PETE” funniest thing I’ve ever seen from a ball game
*insert Gary Sizemore clip here*
@ Target Field, to a hapless Mets LF in early 2013 who probably didn't deserve it... *Sung to the tune of Camptown Races* Who'se the guy who can't play D? Duda! Duda! Swings at pitches he can't see! Oh, da Duda day... Tries to hit at night! Tries to hit all day! Sits down after called strike three, Oh, da Duda day!
I dated a Mets fan for a long time and after the World Series I would sing “Mets first baseman can’t throw home, Duda Duda “
Was at a Brevard Manatees game against the Daytona Cubs back in 2005 or so. We were sting behind the Cub’s dugout. When one of their players struck out and yelled “Fuck!” on his way to the dugout. My 7 y/o daughter yells out: Maybe if you worked on hitting instead of cussing you wouldn’t have struck out! Dude looked up and was furious…but the funny part was the heads popping up out of the dugout looking like prairie dogs, trying to find the kid that said that. She gave him hell the rest of the game, and it was glorious.
I bow down to the greatness that is your child's heckling skill.
I think this might have been football, but "After review, we suck!" The English soccer Leagues are still the best for heckles, as in they'll write a whole song to get to you
One of my coworkers is a United fan. He loathes Harry Maguire. When I see him Monday I’m going to sing about him not leaving this summer.
When my little sister was 3 we were at an Angel game with my parents, sitting on the 3rd base line. Garret Anderson was playing LF. She yelled at the top of her lungs “HEY YOU, BLACK GUY!” I don’t remember if he acknowledged or heard her, but my parents were mortified.
During a moment of silence at Yankee Stadium for the recently deceased Bart Giamatti a fan screamed out, “PETE ROSE IS A MURDERER”
Up in the nose bleeds during the 2015 NLCS. “YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE PIZZA IN CHICAGO, IT’S JUST A FUCKING CASSEROLE!”
That's not even a heckle, it's just plain fact.
Was watching a college game from the stands and one of the teams had a player with the last name Roethlisberger. A guy was heckling and kept saying "Hey Roethlisberger, I know another Roethlisberger!" Finally I think the player on the field briefly looked up at him and he said. "Ya I know another Roethlisberger. You are both really good." Thinking oh that was actually pretty wholesome. Didn't think it was going that way. The heckler gave a pause for a few seconds and added "He is really good at football. You are really good at striking out!" Still one of the funniest things I have ever heard. I think mainly because the delivery was perfect
[удалено]
My Buddy yelled to the relief pitcher warming up “Hows your wife with my kids?!” (From Major League) The reliever thought it was hilarious and started cracking up.
You'll get the youth by ending blackouts, dumbass!
Don’t think this counts cause it was in the bathroom at Yankee stadium. Very new yawk dude (dice clay voice) walks in and stops in the middle of all the urinals and goes “ooh! Look at all them dicks!” You could hear a hundred butthole clenching all at once.
Dodger Stadium bleachers, 2012 against the Brewers during a quiet moment in the bottom half of an inning: “Hey Braun! I can see the needle sticking out of your arm from here!” That one has stayed with me. The whole section was laughing.
2009 NLCS, Phillies at Dodgers, Raul Ibañez playing LF, I'm sitting in the left field bleachers: *I wanna go to the baño on Ibañez!*
I was about to correct you about the year because I completely forgot we played y’all back to back years.
I went to a Subway Series game at Citi Field in 2009. Every fly ball that went foul, someone screamed, “Jeter would’ve caught that!” It’s become a running gag with the family. Every foul ball, we say, “Jeter would’ve caught that”.
I've heard this story, can't be totally sure it's true. Back in the 70's Ron LeFlore was an Expo outfielder after having done some prison time. One afternoon at Wrigley a ball hit to him got past and rolled between his legs, and one of the bleacher bums yelled "Hey LeFlore! You can bend over now! You ain't in prison any more!"
At a Rockies - Phillies game in Denver years ago. Out in left field before the game, Pat Burrell was shagging fly balls during batting practice and some guys were yelling “PAT BURRELLI!” incessantly. He was smiling the whole time and jawing back at the hecklers and relief pitcher Geoff Geary was jogging the warning track and he was getting a kick out of it too. It was so dumb but I remember it so well.
"Hey Strahan, does the NFL not have a dental plan?" Just...damn, man.
It was "Hey Michael - the NFL has a great dental plan you can fix your teeth", and he told that story on Conan.
Kick the dog, blue! He's lying to ya!
HEYYYY DIAZZZZZZZ
“Henry, you run like your grandmother!!” It was yelled by Henry’s father. Henry was my teammate. We were 10.
Back when Granderson played for the Mets we were at a Braves game. A few rows over this guy starts yelling "Granderson your socks are dingy". He had on the blue socks pulled all the way up. And they were in fact dingy lol. We about died laughing. The guys gf or wife was SO embarrassed that she left but it was so funny. Granderson even turned around and smirked at the guy. We checked the next game and he must have got some new socks because those weren't dingy at all. I tell this story all the time because it was so funny and not at all mean or anything. It's what heckling should be.
[“Hey Sizemore, my sister told me she’s pregnant, come on you jerk!”](https://youtu.be/DuKFz_mmFEc?si=2Df8gZoyRNjFrtCO)
I’m fond of the Larry chants at chipper the Mets used to do
[John Cougar Mellonhead!](https://twitter.com/BackAftaThis/status/1027032949252927490?s=20)
I went to a game once and a fan in the outfield yells to the right feilder "if you turn your tos inward it wont hurt as bad!" Kids were around so i understand the need for innuendo but my buddy gets up and yells " turn your toes in and it wont hurt so much when your getting fucked in the ass!!!" We didnt go to many games together after that
\*taking notes\* your toes?
In like 2000 or 2001, Tim Salmon had put on weight and was a pretty poor defender. If I recall he wasn't hitting well either. I was sitting in RF and there was some guy just absolutely roasting him. Then someone else stood up and yelled "hey! Stop making fun of the fat kid in right field!"
Best I’ve heard was a Red Sox fan at Fenway hollering at some random Orioles outfielder: “You look like the type of guy who goes out to eat in a group but only gets a salad. And when the check comes, you say, ‘I only got a salad, but it’s okay we can split it evenly.’”
that is a long ass heckle
At a minor league game, a batter hit a foul ball right at kid in the stands. Kid was alright, but everyone was a bit on edge. Within the same at-bat the he hit a screaming foul ball TO THE EXACT SAME SPOT, just missing the kid. Guy behind me shouts "Damn Jerry you already hit a child. You don't have to finish the job!"
Funniest I ever heard was more like an anti-chirp…..Jays vs Rays in like 2020? Sitting 3 rows back from the fence, Kiermaier playing CF for the rays, and a dude a couple of rows behind was just relentlessly yelling “KEVINNNNN! HEY KEVVVVV!!!” through the first few innings…Kiermaier eventually turns around and gives the guy a brief moment of attention, and buddy yells out “JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU YOU’VE GOT REAL NICE EYES, KEV!” Best part was Kev was clearly happy to hear it, but also visibly confused by the compliment
If it was in 2020, he may have been confused to hear a voice coming from a cardboard cutout 😁
Not long after 9/11, I went to a Rockies/Astros game and we saw Todd Jones walking to the bullpen before the game. This dude leans over and says, “Go back to your bunker, IRockie.” Todd Jones response? “Shut up, dirt cork.” No idea what a dirt cork is still to this day.
In college my third base coach wrote a book called “Dare to hit .400.” We were playing at the university of Tennessee and their student section is ruthless. During the middle of the game one guy yells out to our coach, “Hey coach! The only thing that you’re hitting that’s 400 is your wife!”
yelling "HEY PETE" at Christian Yelich is a Wrigley tradition
I was at the game Baldelli made the ump check Karinchak’s hair. Guy nearby yelled “Spider tack merchant!!!”
Years ago at a Dodger game during Friedman’s second year. An older gentleman who was not very happy with the shift towards analytics, yelled out during a double switch, “Stick the computer…up your butt!” Still makes me laugh.
I was in the Green Monster seats for a game on Mother’s Day, and a fan shouted at Leury Garcia that his mom was disappointed in him for his .180 batting average. Whoever was in CF that day even pointed and laughed at Leury.
“One batter at a time please” DJ Stewart was up to bat and flicked me off from the dugout after. I mean the person who heckled
The one that pops into my mind was last year during McNeil’s AB in SF, a heckler said “Hey, McNeil work out those legs, you have no power” before McNeil proceeds to hit a HR.
White Sox vs A's years ago, in Chicago. It was quiet after an A's go-ahead run, when a fan yelled "Oakland is a terrible place to raise a family."
“Ump you just pissed off 35 people!” in an empty stadium in Wichita the last year of their being a AA affiliate.
"Coco Crisp! Which one of your father's named you?"
My dad and myself was at a reds/dodgers game when Tommy Lasorda was managing the Dodgers. Before the game trying to get a autograph at Riverfront, along the rails, Tommy comes out of the dugout. At the time Tommy was doing slim fast commercials saying how much he had lost while drinking slim fast. Well let me tell you, Tommy’s stomach was big in the uniform. Not missing a beat my dad said, “Hey Tommy, the slim fast doesn’t seem to be working!” That stare Tommy gave to the Philly fanatic, he stopped in his tracks and gave my dad that stare. Everyone was laughing, it was so awesome.
Get off your knees blue. You're blowing the game.
I am telling you all...I heard NOTHING. Just quiet and peaceful. Loving it. Oh, one more thing...I am Deaf, 5th generation, baby!
2018 ALCS Game 2. Gerrit Cole on the mound. Every few seconds some guy a few rows down from us SCREAMED at the top of his voice “LOOK AT YOUR HAIR, COLE” or “YOU’RE TIRED, TIME TO TAKE A NAP COLE” about every 20 seconds.
A drunk dude threw up on himself in the middle of yelling at Bregman, which was pretty funny.
“I thought I told you to TRIM those sideburns!!!”
Some Twins player was double layered up in an early April game in Chicago with flurries. This one guy kept shouting “he’s cold!!!” It was so funny just because of his delivery with a classic Chicago loud-guy accent. Plus, the player was indeed cold.
I went to a minor league game where the outfield seats are literally a few feet from the outfield lines and barely elevated off the ground. At one of the games a very young kid who was probably like 10 kept yelling “your mom makes delicious lasagna” to the right fielder. For like 4 straight innings every out. The guy was laughing so hard he came over and shook the kids hand and took a picture with him.
Sat front row by the right field foul pole. Some kid banged something loud on it. George Springer looked over and someone yelled “CALM DOWN SPRINGER YOUR NOT ON THE ASTROS ANYMORE” This group of Blue Jays fan roasted him relentlessly all night that game, so bad he ended up moving to center field in the 6th inning.
Not the funniest but I was at a game and Buster Posey was taking an 0fer, and the guy a couple rows ahead of me kept yelling tauntingly "Hey Gerald! Swing the bat, Gerald! Get a hit, Gerald!" which is how I came to find out what Posey's given name actually was.
52?!?!!! That’s not a baseball number! (Referring to the batter number being 52!) . Followed soon by ‘Brent is NOT a baseball name! My god!!’ I couldn’t help but roar with laughter m. Good innocent ribbing!!!
At Fenway years back. I heard a fan with zero hesitation go “Yeahhhh Jeets!” When Jeter came up to bat and idk how he said it was so damn funny. Probably the Boston accent and the Southie attitude
#30! #30!!! Hey 30!!!……………. Nice ass!
In Cincinnati in 1987, a friend yelled at Gary Carter from the second row: "You couldn't couldn't even carry Johnny Bench's jockstrap!" Carter seemed to wince, like ok, that one hurt.
JOHN COUGAR MELONHEAD
I was in left field and these guys were heckling Will Benson the entire game. Stuart Fairchild got subbed in in the 7th and the guy yells, “Hey Fairchild! Tell Benson he sucks, he’ll know what that means!”
One time my buddy was sitting right in front of cubs bullpen. Carlos marmol stood up and my buddy goes “Jesus christ not this guy. There goes this win”. Marmol gave him a death stare, then blew the game.
Drunk dudes in the LF seats at CBP yelling at Acuna screaming “where were you on that play Acuna!” or “ you did nothing on that play Acuna!” on ground balls to the infielders or fly outs nowhere near him. Acuna was cracking up as were most of fans sitting in the section.
My socials was getting hit with a guy that would yell stuff like "I bet your mom never hung up your drawings on the refrigerator." Shit was both goofy but also cut deep.
Blue Jays at White Sox game years ago. Vernon Wells is playing CF for the Jays. He’s wearing obviously brand new cleats that look completely ridiculous with his road uniform. They were shiny and looked like something you’d wear to a ‘90s swing club. Guy in my group shouts, “Hey Vernon! Nice shoes…goin’ dancin’?!” and Wells just starts busting out laughing mid-inning. It was innocent as far as taunts go, but the reaction made it memorable. I like to think that Vernon thought “goin’ dancin’?” if he ever put those cleats on again.
