Tony Gwynn Jr getting heckled at Coors Field. This annoying Rockies fan harassed Tony for the entire game. To top it all off, to end the game Tony made stellar leaping catch off of a hit to left field from Rockies Charlie Blackmon. After the catch Tony stood up, looked at the heckler, tipped his hat smiled and ran off...Total Class move.
I don’t watch baseball anymore but I remember Tony Gwynn. He also seemed like a class guy. Like father like son.
And this Father’s Day week marks one year since Tony, Sr.’s passing (June 16th). So many asshat “fans” — one of the reasons I no longer go to sports events.
In Cincinnati, if a fan shouts too loudly or rags a player, he is escorted out of the stadium. I didn’t believe my eyes, but the yahoos get booted.
Glad to hear it.
