Tiger fans are idiots

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I get throwing a shuck HR back, but Pujols' 498?

 

Idiots.

 

[Taylor]

They wanted him to have it. What a kind people.

[tdawg87]

This is news to people?

Idiots.

 

The only balls worth keeping are those hit by "the best offensive player in baseball, Miguel Cabrera."

[Jay]

Well we know at least one Tiger fan is an idiot.

[fan_since79]

Well to be fair, #498 is worth about a quarter. It's #500 that could fetch some serious money.

A quarter in Detroit is worth 18 bucks.

[Jay]

In detroit, a quarter is what you get when you sell $1 worth of food stamps.

If Miguel Cabrera hit #498 to me, I would try to nail him with it when he rounded 2nd

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Yeah, nobody cares about #498. It's as valuable as Chris Ianetta's 86th HR ball.

Right, because nobody hits 86 home runs and everyone hits 498.

If Pujols was still on the Cardinals and hit 498 (meaningless ball) in Anaheim I would throw it back too.

Edit....but if it was #500 and he wanted it back he had better get his checkbook out.

If you lived in Detroit, would you be in a good humor?

 

I consider any throwing back of an opponent's home run ball to be a cheap imitation of the Wrigley Field fans. They originated it.

Detroit is what the end of the world looks like.


Yes, they're idiots from having high lead content in drinking water and breathing in 2nd hand crack smoke from nearby ram shackles. Let them throw the ball if it makes them happy. They have my sympathy.

Those fans are just bitter about living in the worst place ever and envy the Angel shits who get to play in California for snooty fans living in gated communities eating gluten free food.

They especially hate the californians who only watch porn in 1080p HD and 7.1 surround sound.

While saps in Detroit salivate in anticipation for their 56k internet to churn out a half loaded pic of a topless chick.

So, let them enjoy their 2 seconds of joy, because they will probably be murdered outside the stadium for the battery in their Seiko watch.

Which milestone did Pujols reach on #498? Which record was broken? Who did he pass on the all-time HR list? Who is going to remember that epic moment when Pujols hit that one HR in Detroit 20 years ago?

To say #498 is somehow of more value or significance than any other HR ball is dumb.

I have home run and foul balls I caught in each decade. As a fan of the game I would think it would be cool to own.

It's not about a price tag or a milestone. To catch a Pujols home run is pretty cool considering the guy is a hall of famer. That's my point. 498 isn't a significant number unless something bad happens to him and its his last one ever.

Again though, there are only a handful of guys that hit #498. So owning it would be cool for me.

If you don't see it, ok. Whether you're a fan or not. I'd think catching a HOF HR ball would mean something if you care about the game at all.

If you just want to go to a game and get drunk and make a spectacle ripping off a Cub tradition, go right ahead.

I'd love to catch #500 and get a nice payday for it from Pooholes.

[Blarg]

I wouldn't toss back to the field Miguel Cabrera's 498th home run but I would hand it to some kid that wanted it. The same I would do with any other ball of no value. Now if it were #500, I would be considering my options.

Soto is going to step on a kid for Mike Trout's #100 HR

I go to maybe 1 game a year, and it isn't to sit in the OF.   I can assure you, I'll never catch a Trout HR, nor attempt to.   I'd have three kids and a wife to protect if a ball came that way.

[sneaky_flute]

I traded Sammy Sosa's 600th home run ball for a couple grams of crack the same night and regret that decision to this day.

You will probably get a lawsuit instead.

Speaking of idiots - a college buddy who lives in Tampa is posting on Facebook from the Yankees-Rays game tonight. He mentioned that the Yankee fans trail the Boston fans in terms of obnoxiousness, but not by a wide margin. Guess the pinstripers and the chowds are pretty much the same regardless of the venue.

 

I would imagine that most of the irritants in his area have moved on, with the Rays up 16-1.

at least you didn't have to blow a dude in the alley that time for it

[sneaky_flute]

Yankee fans are definitely worse. Most Red Sox fans are pretty cordial and don't start fights at their home park. Can't say the same for Yankees.
