When did this become “tradition?”

You’re at a baseball game, sitting in the outfield stands. Somebody from the visiting team hits a home run. You catch it. So what do you do? Throw the ball back onto the field of course.



WTF is it with that? I can maybe see this if it’s a game against your rival team and it’s on national TV and the hitter is their big star that everyone in town hates. But come on. I’m watching the Padres play in Chicago, leading the Cubs 10 - 5. Padre Catcher Jorge Alfaro hits a solo shot in the eighth to left field. So now it’s 11-5. A teenage kid catches the ball and you can see his buddies convince him to throw it back. Yeah, that’s showing big time disdain for the enemy team.

Fuck…I get a ball at an MLB game, foul ball , home run, ground rule double, whatever, I’m fucking keeping it. But that’s just me.

It’s been a tradition in Chicago since 1969, get with the times old man.

Nice (imprecise) glass dick you fatfuck.

OK but it’s stupid. If you don’t want it then give it to a kid. The ball boy/girl is probably going to chuck it into the stands anyway.

[Kierland]

Of course it’s stupid. Their Cubs fans.

At Yankee Stadium they throw glass bottles and garbage so I guess it could be worse.

Not to go Dinsdale on you here, but in a two sentence post where you seek to assert that a group of people are stupid, it would help your case if you didn't make a very blatant spelling error.

Everything bad in baseball begins at Wrigley Field.

Or at least in Chicago...

“Not to go Dims”

Yeah I really don’t know the difference and it wasn’t autocorrect.

Good point. When racist Americans tell me international soccer fan is murderous, I remind them that the only recent fatality at a sporting event was from a fight outside a Giants-Dodgers game in a parking lot at Dodger Stadium.

Eh, nobody got hurt here.

Not to mention all the violence needed to get the land to build the stadium.
