In 1983, we had season tickets to the AAA Richmond braves. Several times a year, the would play the Pawtucket Pawsox. There was one heckler who loved to work Jackie Gutierrez. He would start at batting practice and continue the whole game. It really got to Gutierrez some nights as he had 3 errors and 3 strikeouts. The WORST way to respond to a heckler is to show that it bothers you.

Best one I ever saw was in Seattle watching the blue jays play the mariners, sitting close to the wall out in LF. These three guys were just heckling the shit out of the blue jays left fielder, every inning and you knew he could hear them. Anyways in the 8th inning he makes this ridiculous diving catch to end the inning, and then he gets up and tosses the ball to the guys with a smile on his face. It was awesome lol.

😅 Man, some of these other college hecklers completely obliterate me when it comes to commitment. Probably my most vicious heckling moment was at a game where we noticed one of the players looked about 30 in his picture, so we just started picking at his age, asking if those were grey hairs, saying I didn't know they let base coaches play in college, etc. We managed to get him worked up enough to turn around and tell us to shut up (a little more colorfully than that). Probably didn't help we get seats behind the opposing dugout specifically to be in better range for heckling.

what's it like to be in a team celebration after winning a series or clinching a division/playoff spot.I was the batboy for a minor league team that had clinched their division and was lucky enough to part of the celebration in the clubhouse. I was about 13yrs old, but the players were nice enough to include me in their celebration. Funny story, my Mom got me from the ballpark that night and drilled me for drinking, even though i didn't have any alcohol, i definitely was covered in it.

I have an interesting story about heckling a player! It was me my dad and cousin. It was the tigers vs the Yankees my cousin is a Yankees fan. My dad was heckling the shit out the Yankees right fielder Miguel andujar! My dad wasn’t saying anything disrespectful and he was heckling him in Spanish lol. But my dad kept up with it thru 5 innings. I remember an ump came running to the cop in the out field and told the cop something. That next inning security came to up and said we needed to return to our seats and basically told us to be quiet! I was somewhat upset because we weren’t doing anything wrong! So we ended up leaving! The cop didn’t do anything 😂 I remember being so upset I spit on comerica park 😂😂😂😂😂😂 sorry it was the modelo!
