Another reason not to throw the ball back.

Posted by the wrong element, bad guy (aka JFields) Oct 12 '09, 13:31

In some stadiums (apparently Fenway and Skydome are two of them) you will be ejected as soon as security/ushers can make it to you.

So you give up the ball for no logical reason, and then get kicked out of the rest of the game. Yeah, that'll show 'em.

I'm still waiting for a Yankees or Sox fan to throw back an O's HR at Camden Yards.

Responses:

yup, it is usually frowned upon to throw anything onto the field, I would imagine that extends to balls batted into the stands. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:32 22

  - Shane Victorino, Phillies CF was doused with a beer while fielding a ball in Wrigley. - musubi Oct 12, 13:38 7
    - I remember seeing on TV Dave Parker doused with a beer in Wrigley in the late 70s, early 80s -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 13:42

      - I think it's more a way to later prosecute for a tresspass if he ever gets in trouble again, but I'm no expert. - musubi Oct 12, 13:44 3

        yup. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:45
    - I wouldn't go so far as to press charges, but banning him for life is a perfectly legitimate response. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:39
  - I think pizzagate at Fenway was the best. The dude threw a slice at the other guys face! -- nm - CQ Oct 12, 13:36
- Yeah, I've found at least two stories from searching for the origin of throwing it back. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:34 11
  - you sir, have clearly not seen rookie of the year. -- nm - mafic Oct 12, 13:39 1
    - I've seen at least part of it. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:47
  - I've always understood the origin to be Cubs fans. -- nm - Ender Oct 12, 13:36 8
    - same here -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 13:36 7
      - Ditto. (nm) - musubi Oct 12, 13:39 6
        
        I know it's Cubs fans. I just don't know why they started it. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:41 5
        
        Because they're Cubs fans. Jerks with an overdeveloped sense of self-esteem considering their team hasn't won a World Series in over a hundred years. -- nm - Ender Oct 12, 13:46 4
        
        here's something on it... -- (link) - znufrii Oct 12, 13:57
        
        That last part doesn't factor into it. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:49 2
        
        It's a one... hundred... year... drought... nothing says "recent development" about that. - Ender Oct 12, 13:55 1
        
        It reaching 100 years is recent. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 14:01
Why would a Yankees or Sox fan do that? It's a f***in home game for them there. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:32 1
- I said an O's HR. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:33
