Bad times for baseball
As if there are any other kinds. Baseball fans are seeking to distinguish themselves as total assholes, and are succeeding with flying colors. We've already seen a guy name Bueno pissing people off to the point of chair-throwing, but now take a glance at who picked up Barry Bonds's 700th home run ball:
"The ball was on the ground. It rolled to me. It's mine. I know the truth, " he said. Informed that others had claimed the ball had been ripped from their grasps, Williams replied, "I don't care. There's nothing I can do."
"If these guys want to get a lawyer, fine," he said. "Bring it on. I got the ball fair and square."
Asked what he planned to do with the ball, he replied, "Are you kidding? I'm going to sell it. It's the only reason I came to the game."
If I was in charge of MLB PR, I would've stolen the ball from him on some technicality and given it to some kid just to shut this guy up. Luckily, I don't like baseball, so I don't mind.
