Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Courtesy of the always on top of it, Say Hey Sports Blog, here's some video footage of somebody who had probably way too many beers, a few cops who had way too little things to do, and a bunch of fans who were having too much fun.

Baseball looks fun. Drunk straight boys - uummmmmmmm!

 

How can we have 5 officers in left field of the Giant's game, and not a one in Cow Hollow at the same time? Can't the Giants hire their own security, and have one or two cops at the ball park to arrest some one? Are their a lot of robberies at the park? Just does not seem right.

 

seriously? i can't believe i watched a full 3 minutes of that. 30 seconds would do. ugh.

 

I just went to Crimemaps to double-check and found only 4 robbery reports in the last 60 days out in the Marina. Clearly residents are not reporting these crimes, because of the "stop snitching" culture which prevails in Cow Hollow.

 

KWillets I guess you are assuming that the crimemaps are up to date.

 

There's usually a lag; that's why I double-checked.

Well, because of that, and planning for the pot club I plan to open on Chestnut.

 

Where are the drunk guys buddies? Why didn't they stick around to help him?

 

I was sitting 3 rows in front of this guy. I caught a glimpse of myself in the video.

Just to get the facts straight...at one point there was eight police officers standing around this guy.

Also, I'm glad they were there because the crowd could have turned nasty. The entire two sections around us were standing up and cheering him on and ironically also screaming lots of nasty stuff at him. It was very bizarre.

You have to understand....this all happened in the bleacher seats...and bleacher fans are not your typical fans. I've seen a bleacher fan weighing 300+ pounds crush a pregnant women while trying to catch a warm-up ball thrown to the crowd by the opposing teams outfielder!! Let alone the destructive forces unleashed from bleacher fans when a home run ball is hit into the crowd. I've seen four year olds pummeled by grown men. The bleacher crowd is like a controlled riot.

This drunk guy was like play-doe for the fans out in the bleachers. Everybody was chanting stuff and going crazy around him. It really could have gotten ugly. Nothing like what Cow-hollow yuppies have every experienced. All the Cow-Hollow yuppies were sitting behind home plate thinking "What's going out there in the cheap seats????...What's all that commotion out there???...oh well...who cares... I'm just so glad my parents are rich so I can be all comfortable and safe here behind home plate and away from the rowdy fans in the cheap seat. Hmmmmm....I think I'll send another picture of Barry Bonds at bat to my super cool friends on my new super cool IPhone."

 

Guest, you are too funny. Your description was hilarious.
I wish I was there, but my BMer was in the shop, and I don't do public transit...The 45 is just icky. But seriously 8 officers... this strangely sounds like a Shakespearean play, with the rabble in the cheap seats, or at least a Hogarth painting. Anybody get shot out there?

 

last time there was a drunk in the bleachers in the news it was less than eight cops and no wone is in hot water for using force to calm the drunk down. Althigh i dont think this drunk would be a problem. I would rather have too many cops than not enough to handle a problem.

 

I thought I remember reading somewheres they only serve lite or watered-down beer at the ballpark. This guy must've been a lightweight.
