Well, it was a pretty rowdy crowd last night. It was great at first, the noise levels were high, there was relentless heckling of Ordonez from entire sections (Ooooh-EE-Ooooh, MAAAAAAAAGLIOOOOOO!), over 48,000 people showed up, it was awesome.
It was all going smoothly until the taps started flowing. Remember... we're talking Canadian beer here...
First came the Pizza Pizza cardboard airplanes. 1 or 2 showed up on field and before it could be stopped, there was an entire fleet. The warning track was littered with these airplanes, with at least one aerospace engineer up in the 500 level constructing planes that were almost reaching the infield, from the homerun wall.
By the end of about the 5th, the level of drunken buffoonary was reaching new levels. A guy about 10 seats down from me (sitting 1st row behind the homerun wall) fell over the freaking wall, and was saved from dropping about 20 feet on his neck by his friend who managed to catch his flailing arms and bring him back in... so he could then be kicked out.
I guess the last straw came late in the game when 2 baseballs were thrown onto the field and landed very close to Josh Anderson. At that point the umps called the players in and there was a 10 min delay of game, which I learned afterwards came very close to being a forfeit for the Jays. They made a few announcements telling us to stop being retarded, and the game eventually continued without incident.
Go Jays Go!
