Some Fans Have NO CLASS
So this past weekend I made the trip up to Chicago to see the Cardinals play at Wrigley Field. I made the trip knowing that sometimes I run into people that are rude, crude & pretty much wear Cub underoos when they go bed at night even thought they are in their mid 40's.
Just like every year, I made sure I had plenty of alcohol to keep me occupied while in line. You run the risk of getting a ticket from the Chicago PO PO if you drink an open container of alcohol while standing in line for the bleachers @ Wrigley.
So me & 2 friends arrive at Wrigley on Saturday morning for the semi-annual Wrigley-GRAS. I had my beverage of choice with me in line. My 2 friends chose to patiently wait in line without indulging in adult beverages. The time was approx 10:30 am & the gates for the game did not open until 12:40.. so needless to say we had some time to KILL! So we did. We talked to some Cub Fans that were cool, & we yelled at some Cub Fan that were not cool.
Thats how it is when you are waiting in line for bleacher seats - which by the way are GA if you don't get there early like we did, you are pretty much SOL on decent seats.
So we FINALLY make it into the stadium get our seats in Left Center Field. We were in HOMERUN territory... which could be good, turned out it was bad for US in the 11th inning.
Regardless we got good seats & I had a good buzz going. The beer starts flowing, the game starts going & people were getting ejected starting during BP & pretty much up to the 11th inning.
As the game ended, I started walking up the isle to leave. Some douche Cub Fan decided he was going to block my way. He is all yelling, screaming & being beligerent since the Cubs won with a walk off homer in our section. I attempt to move to the right of this drunk, classless Cub Fan that is blocking the isle.
He decides to get in my way AGAIN... so this time I look up at him & say - "Hey dude, can you move I need to go"... He is still yelling, screaming & talking idiot... so I move him over to the left...
I don't if the dude was "that" drunk or if he wanted an Oscar nomination for his performance, but he ended up 6 or 7 rows below me. This was the first douche of the day.
I then walk up the stairs & yet another Cub Fan gets in my way.... He tells me I didn't need to throw that guy down the stairs. I replied to him, "I asked the guy to move, & he refused. I then moved him to the left so I could get by... He should have moved when he had the chance..."
The guy I told this to then stepped out of my way. I kept walking up the stairs & got to the "concourse" area. I headed to the ramp when my hat was removed from my head. At first I thought it was a friend of mine. I turn around & nope .. it some douche Cub Fan.. He is acting like a monkey, bouncing all around & acting a fool. He then throws my hat out of the stadium & runs into the crowd like a coward.
What an ass... An usher is standing right there and says - "well go kick his ass". I replied to the usher "Yeah that would make the situation better." "I would end up in jail, not my idea of a Saturday nite".
So then I look out the stadium & there sits my hat, on the roof of a parked bus. Nice.
No way to get it, & a crowd of drunk, sensless fans.
I left without my hat that day. I could have left with hand cuffs on my wrists, or even in a squad car.
I consider myself luck, some fan left without class, then again... I know 2 people that didn't have it when showed up to watch the game.
If these 2 classless fans want to show up at Busch, feel free. I welcome you visit me on MY TURF!!
