Funniest heckles you have heard at baseball games

[Schwarber Fan]

I was at a AAA game on a freezing cold April day. I think it was game two of a double header. There had to have been <100 people in the ballpark. Sal Fasano came to the plate with a .204 average or something like that and some guy yells, audible throughout the entire stadium. "Hey Sal, I see you're hitting your weight!"

Last year I attended two out of the four games that we swept from the Giants. During the Saturday game I was sitting in the 2nd row in the center field bleachers, and the guys in front of us in the 1st row were really giving it to Angel Pagan all game. Lots of Wendy Pagan-related comments. My personal favorite was, "PUT YOUR GLOVE ON, ANGEL!" like the way your little league coach would yell at you. You guys probably remember that Pagan ended up making an error late in the game, and when he walked back out into center, the entire bleachers had erupted into a chant of, "AN-GEL! AN-GEL! AN-GEL!". It was a really awesome moment to be a Cubs fan.

I sat in the bleachers back when Neon Deion was playing OF with the Reds and soon after being "born again". One guy next to me starts calling out to him the first 3 innings, mostly "Papa, why don't you ever call me?" type stuff. After booting a lazy fly all, Deion turns around to flip off the bleachers and screams at the guy before he even fields the ball against the ivy.

 

Meh, not really that funny, but interesting how a guy who had already accomplished so much lets some moron get under his skin so easily.

 

was it this game?

Ha! Has to be, because

A) I remember the Pirates in the next series

B) I couldn't get over how cold it was in late May after the morning's rain shower

C) I used to have an irrational love for Kevin Foster

Yankees-Rangers game in NY. In the bleachers. Friends were screaming at Josh Hamilton all game "We've got Coke in the bullpen!"

 

Probably the most use anyone has gotten out of Phil Coke.

University football game north of the border. Western (the rich kids school) is visiting Guelph (the farm kids school) -3rd quarter, what seemed like the entire crowds begins chanting "Daddy's money's no good here! Daddy's money's no good here!" Good Times.

Not really a "heckle", but I was heard once before by a player. In spring training, I think it was Angel Echevarria, hit a towering HR. So when he comes out to play LF defensively in the next inning, I yell "hey, that was 800 feet" and he turns around and gives me a smile and a thumbs up.

 

I guess the funniest heckle I've heard was this guy at the Pirates game in the LF corner heckling Soriano when he was with the Cubs. He kept prefacing everything he said with "I'm just throwing it out there....." Stuff like, "I'm just throwing it out there.....your mother is a whore". At one point, Soriano was laughing a little. Game was also a laugher in the Cubs favor, IIRC.

Funny, but not as funny since it's pregame (those jerseys are so ugly). B-.

not sure if it was funny (maybe creative?) but a group of us in college went to Kinston Indians games sometimes on "Thirsty Thursdays". so i have a story.

 

The games were normally not well attended (the team didn't survive long after I graduated and the stadium is now a barren wasteland) so players could certainly hear anything being yelled from the seats.

 

anyway, one of the guys that would go sometimes with us was somewhat of a lightweight when it came to drinking. so by the 4th inning or so he got to be very outspoken (shocking!). He yelled at the third baseman:

 

Drunken college student: "Hey, do you mind getting my batting gloves back?

Third baseman: *looks to his right into the seats with perplexed look*

Drunken college student: "I left them on your mom's night stand. BECAUSE I WAS HITTING THAT ALL NIGHT!!!"

 

It elicited a smirk from the third baseman. Shortly thereafter, though, he (and I guess the rest of us) were asked to leave by the 65 year old Usher gentleman. Guess that kind of sexual humor just doesn't fly down here in the bible belt *shrug*

I just thought of another one that made me laugh.

 

I was at a spring training game in Arizona, sitting in the left field bleachers. I don't remember who we were playing, but the left fielder was wearing number 98. A fan yelled, "Let's see, who are some other great 98's in major league history?!?"

They eventually took away the sign in the 6th inning, from when Dusty came back to Wrigley with the Reds.

Not the best heckle I've ever heard, but in context, it was amazing:

 

My wife and I are in Cincy watching a Cubs/Reds game. We were in the 3rd row next to the Cubs dugout. Dempster is the closer and had been struggling mightily. Next to us were a gaggle (I believe that's the right term?) of mid-80's women, all decked out in Cubs gear. The lady next to us was cracking us up the entire game, then when Dempster blew the save and came back to the dugout, she yells, "Oh come on, Dumpster! Yes. I called you Dumpster, because that's where you belong. You throw like sh*t!"

 

Dempster definitely heard it, looked at her, cracked up and yelled back, "Sorry... You're right."

My brother and I (wekse) were at a Nashville Sounds game sitting next to the best father/son team hecklers/commentators ever.

A couple from that night.

 

The pitcher gave up 4 runs before recording an out. The catcher came up to bat htting .179. The father/son yells out to the pitcher "Finally, here's someone you can retire!" The catcher proceeds to hit one into left center for a double clearing the bases. The father yells out to the pitcher "He only had a buck 79, but he went shopping at the gap!"

 

Later in the game they started picking on Tony Campana as he was leaning on the dugout rail as he didn't start and wasn't playing. They kept yelling "Hey Camp, throw me a ball." Tony wouldn't acknowledge them at all. Finally, one of them says, "Aww c'mon Camp, I tell ya what. When I own the Sounds I'll put you in!" Tony turned around and chuckled.

 

They were relentless with regards to picking on Campana. At a later time in the game one of them says. "Look Camp, we know you aren't going to get in the game, so I'll tell you what...I'll knock out a few bricks in back of the dugout and you can crawl out. It'll be like the Longest Yard."

who gets called Steve Urkel???

[biittner77]

One of the pleasures of Camden Yards is that someone got the great idea to have a walkway that runs basically over the top of the bull pen. This means that people can yell down at the visiting starting pitcher before the game starts.

[philosophizer75]

Yeah, you're literally standing right over the opposing team's bullpen. You aren't allowed to hang out there though, there are ushers making sure you move along and signs everywhere marking it as a "no standing zone".

[ConstableRabbit]

What kind of humblebrag was that from Philips? horsefeathers that guy.

[Sammy Sofa]

I just assumed the "absolutely fantastic" part was someone screaming at Dee Gordon to eat a steak sandwich.

Just saw this for the first time today. Love it. Cold blooded when a whole stadium trolls you.
