Buy that Boy a Beer

Hey, what do you know, this is one of those non-Aggie related posts.

I was watching the Yankees and Indians game with my dad last night. At one point, when the game was tied, an Indian batter popped a ball up towards the third base side. A-Rod drifts into foul territory and inched to the stands. As A-Rod was looking up to make the catch, the Indians fans in the area inexpicably make room for him to make the play. I look over to my father, and say, "What the hell are those guys doing? Get in the way of that she-male loving pansy." Luckily for the Indians, A-Rod is contractually obligated to play games in October with both hands around his neck. Turns out to be moot in this game. But COME ON fans, gotta be on your toes at all times.

On a side note, how about all dem bugs infesting the stadium? The end draws nigh my friends; hide your first born.

Flash forward to the BoSox and Los Angeles, California Angels of Anaheim game.

The Angels are clinging to a one run lead, and Boston is threatening. There's one out and a Boston batter pops one back. The Angels catcher has a bead on the ball, and once again the ball is going into the stands. The catcher reaches out and is just about to make the catch -- When! -- a savvy young fan snatches it out the air just before it goes into the glove. The extra out gives Boston the chance to sacrafice in the tying run. The guy was a hero. He was getting high-fives the whole evening, and even gave a couple of interviews.

I just thought "awesome". Thats exactly what you are suppose to do fans, give your team a chance to win. The great thing is, he was entirely within his rights. Awesome.

To conclude: Boston>Cleveland. Has if you needed someone to tell you that one.
