How Not to be a Dbag at Fenway

Every year there are a few guys in the stands at Fenway Park that think they are the cleverest fellas to ever pop out of a womb at the South Shore Hospital.. but they aren’t. Here are a few ways to avoid being that guy that in 2010:

During an Adrian Beltre at-bat, try your hardest not to yell out “AAAADDDRRIIAAAANNN” like Sylvester Stalone in a Rocky movie. It’s guaranteed that you’ll sound like you’re having a stroke instead.

Kevin Youkilis’ at-bat music is ‘Just A Friend’ by Biz Markie. Avoid standing on your seat and pointing at some random bro three aisles away while singing “AND YOU SAY HE’S JUST A FRIEND” at the top of your lungs.

Yes, Marco Scutaro is a funny name. No, it’s not funny to have one person yelp “MARCO!” while the other covers his eyes and shouts “SCUTARO!” back. Marco Polo is a fun game to play in the pool when it’s 97 degrees out but it’s hardly witty to pretend you’re playing while packed in a tight space with 37,000 other people.

‘Dead Poets Society’ is a pretty decent movie but standing on your chair and re-enacting the “OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!” scene while Jason Varitek has struck out 4 times is not a good move.

These are all things I witnessed at my first game of the 2010 season. Come on guys, stick to your crazy Japanese techno dancing during Okajima Okie-Dokie and yelling “YOOOOOOOUUUK” like the rest of us. We’ve got an example to set for fans of teams that can’t sell out 550+ straight games.

    Haha please do. These are the only ones that stood out after seeing the 12th inning walk-off against the Rangers.
