Great moments in heckling
Earlier this week, Ken Griffey Jr. put on a display, schooling a heckler.
As reported from Deadspin.com from the heckler's myspace page:
"Well, by the 2nd inning he was looking right at me giving me the looks. When he walks in from the 6th inning he decided he had enough and came over to talk some smack. He called me some fat references which was hilarious and then he told me I couldnt touch the threads on his jock...
I then told him to show me what he's got, that he talks a big game and then I told him to limp back to the dugout where he belongs and I even said some things about his Mom. I told him I might be fat, but I could still play center field:) It was an incredible exchange to say the least. After the 6th inning he walks out and stops to talk to me holding a brown paper bag in his hand. He motions to throw it to me and I told him no, I know that trick. He laughs and says catch it, so I put up my hands and he tosses it over. He wouldn't leave until I opened it and when I finally did, the whole place erupted with laughter. Griffey throws me his jock..."

Seems to be going around this week. Vernon Wells had his own hilarious run-in with a heckler: http://homerderby.com/archives/446
Apparently the Griffey heckler proceeded to put the jock on his finger and twirl it over his head - funny. Baseball rules! - NBA players have no sense of humor - these hecklers probably would have been accosted in their seats and then punched.
Is this true?
Didn't Griffey attempt suicide decades ago?
I still want his 89 UD rookie.
Did the Reds win this game? Did Griffey get any hits?
Also, what's with the Twins logo now? Oh shit, I just figured it out.
Nevermind.
(It looks like a T for twins over a C for Cincinnati. But then I remembered Har Mar: Twin Cities. A bit sloooow am I)
J.Jerry is a son of a heckler. I can vividly remember my dad frequently yelling "3 SECONDS!" to the b-ball refs.
Once a heckler always a heckler I guess. I suppose my kids will be hecklers too.
Hennessy, if when your kid is born and he/she turns into a pretty damn good heckler, you'll know who the REAL daddy is.

I want that Griffey card too in the same way baby-boomers want Mantle, Mays, Aaron cards from their childhood. Lucky for us we, attaining a piece of our lost youth is much less $$$.
If I won the lotto - I totally would get some baseball memorabilia. Not "Amazing Room" style - maybe like 10-12 high-end pieces. Game used stuff, Aaron rookie card, signatures, etc. Just a dream.
Gangsta - which Spike Lee film does that Griffey card appear in? Is that Jungle Fever where Spike says they're gonna be worth lots of $$$ in a few years?
I've got the Griffey Upper Deck rookie. Always wished I could have gotten my hands on an Aaron card with some value behind it.
