What Bill Clinton got caught doing at a baseball game

He's spent most of his life with Hillary. I'm sure he's developed falling asleep as a defense mechanism.

I am a huge ( and I mean huge) Mets fan and what I found interesting about Clinton's visit to the game was that it elicited almost no interest.

I read every NY daily sports section every day and there were no quotes from players about meeting him, no pictures from the clubhouse, nothing. It was a non event and if he hadn't fallen asleep no one would even know he was there. Must not have been any chubby teenage girls in his section.

The classic "shame" shot of Slick Willie in his glory days - in some respects, this is better than a snoring/drool shot.

Well, he and his wife both dozed off at the memorial for 9/11 at the National Cathedral. They're just a couple of sleepy old folks.

I thought that was at Ronald Reagan's funeral service. Did they snooze at a 9/11 memorial as well?

You ever see that Seinfeld where Jerry's at the car dealer and Puddy keeps wanting high-fives? Jerry refuses and thus looses a great deal on a car. But, in his words, "It’s like the wave at ball games. Air quotes. The phrase, "Don’t go there." Somebody's gotta take a stand!"

Will this work? All that hard work being an ex-President can wear you out, can't it? (snork)

Here is the link from the reply. This is a video of him trying to stay awake, that's about all.

I thought it was the 9/11 service, but I could be totally wrong about that.

[Corin Stormhands]

Of course, NO ONE will publish that picture of him snoring in his seat, and drool coming out of his mouth.

Comcast.net has had the video up for a couple of days.

Yeah, lots of Mets fans around now that they're finally having a good season after buying people like Delgado and Wagner. I'll be surprised with that starting pitching if they can get anywhere besides sent home in the playoffs.

Don't worry, the Mets will suck again next year and all the Mets' fans can put their Yankee caps back on.

Well, at least he wasn't hittin' on the babes......*~*

[NapkinUser]

Anyone have the photograph of him sleeping? Is that really being hidden?

A few years ago when the Atlanta Braves were in the World Series, national TV caught Jane Fonda and Ted Turner sleeping in their box seats.

One of the announcers calmly stated "They must be exhausted from admiring themselves in the mirror".

As much as I dislike Clinton, I can understand falling asleep at a baseball came.

3 minutes of action crammed into 3 hours.

The Mouth of the South, former ATL Braves owner Ted Turner used to fall asleep in the owner's box at "The Ted".

Ex-Jane was often seen busily chatting with their guests and other local dignitaries... & the erstwhile Captain Outrageous was drooling on his epaulets...

I am older (not old) now... myself... I can understand stealing a fighter nap in the top of the inning....

"Don't see what the big deal is about this - most baseball games are boring. Shorten the game to 7 innings and cut the number of games to 100.

I actually seldom watch Major League Baseball anymore...mostly because of the greed strikes of some years ago....I do watch the Little League World Series.

Having said those things...I have long held the theory that those who have substantial experience participating in a sport are much more likely to enjoy watching it...

you mind if I just call you Monica?
