A's Fans are Crazy
Last year I went to an A's-Rangers game with my brother-in-law. At some point in the game this fan threw his cell phone at Rangers outfielder Carl Everett, hitting him in the head. It's not known to me if this jarred Everett back onto planet earth. Everett has caused quite a stir with some of his comments, including, "Dinosaurs never existed, they are a media fabrication" and, regarding the moonlanding, "Were you on the moon with him? He may have just gone to the desert and walked on some dried-out dirt." But, I mean, I got to agree with him on that.
Last night we were watching an A's-Rangers game on TV and some more crazy shit happened. Some fan, in a black hat and grey sweatshirt was heckling the relievers. I don't-but would love to-know what he said, but it got Rangers reliever Doug Brocail so mad that he started screaming back at the fan and had to be held back from hopping into the stands. A lone security guard was trying to hold back half the Rangers team from going after this guy when rookie pitcher Frank Francisco decided he needed to pick up a folding chair and throw it into the stands. He missed the heckler, who ducked, and nailed this lady in the face, breaking her nose. The game was delayed for 19 minutes while the teams talked about forfeiting the game. The A's PA announcer, Roy Steele, who pretty much sounds like the voice of God, started talking and was pissed!
His voice came booming in, "If any fan comes onto the field, you will forfeit the game for your HOME TEAM! STAY IN YOUR SEATS!"
During this commotion, it was reported that Francisco was arrested. Oaktown hardcore.
