Adults that bring gloves to games = Classless

by putupyourDUKES on May 4, 2009 1:34 PM EDT

Seriously? You are an adult, and you bring a glove to a watch a baseball game? I bet you pay more attention to foul balls then what is happening on the field too. Why don't you let the kids, and more importantly, the players on the field have a shot at actually catching a foul ball? But nooooo, you have to stand there in your tucked in polo shirt, and braded belt worn out from barely holding in your gut, and jump in front of some twelve year old with your two hundrend dollar glove that was never used on a real field.

You are just a dumb animal that should be ejected from the game as soon as that glove is put on your hand. Man up and catch foul balls like an adult, and let the players, and kids have their fun.

Also, they should reopen auschwitz for anyone that asks for an autograph over the age of 18.

getting a personally signed autographed baseball is hella cooler than those lame replica rings

some people were paying $100 for on ebay… you dorks actually wear those in public?

I don't care if you're 75

Bring a glove, do whatever you want. Just don’t be a moron. Nice attempt a demonization though.

This

People who drink at baseball games = classless
People who use cowbells = classless
Hecklers = classless

People who can’t just live and let live = annoying

No, you were right the first time with "piece"

Also, it was a Backstreet Boys concert. Perhaps Edan, Gaelen, and I will break out the tape this weekend. Perhaps not.

are you serious with this thread?

who the fuck would recommend this garbage? it’s baseball idiot, it’s a pastime to bring a glove. not just for the fun of it, but also the safety. get good seats down either line and then see how you feel when a foul liner comes at your face at 100mph. you are an idiot, i can’t stress that enough. bringing a glove is part of going to the ballpark, just as long as you don’t interfere with the games. and asking for autographs is just as much part of the experience as watching the game. god damn you are just so wrong i can’t even gather my thoughts to write more coherently…

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.

I gotta agree with David, but without the rabidly incoherent anger.

Or maybe this is just deeply ingrained sarcasm.

Bringing a glove to a game

for anyone over 12 yo is similar to watching soccer

Wearing a jersey with a player’s name also fairly gay for an adult to do

by Raymondo on May 6, 2009 11:03 AM EDT reply actions

Oh, please.

Attending a real (i.e. not American) soccer game is most the enthralling and passionate sporting experience out there.

Bringing a glove to a game is just sad.

by Suttree on May 6, 2009 12:32 PM EDT up reply actions

I personally don't care if you bring a glove to a game. However, British football is the single best live experience anywhere

I would give my left leg to be in West London in about 2 hours.

As it stands, I’m watching on ESPN360.com.

Barca better win.

I can’t take another Chelsea-Man U final, and I certainly can’t handle either of them winning it.

Barcelona is the best pure footy team in the world. They deserve to be there.

"deserve" must mean "payed" in your language.

congrats to yr asshole danny alves on his birthday. his husband must have seen how terrible he was playing first half, and paid the ref to ignore all handballs in the box the 2nd half.
