southsidepride15 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 QUOTE (PMD @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:48 PM) I saw him do that-- but holy hell I didn't know that was enough to get you ejected from a ball game these days! The umps sucked today. Really sucked. Anybody see the guy in the lower level who got NAILED in the head by a foul ball? It hit him so hard the ball ricocheted back onto the field. I think that's the hardest I've ever seen anyone get hit. Hope he's okay. that happened like 40 ft from me....that was the hardest shot I've ever seen anyone get hit with. You knew right away it was not good. He walked out with some help from the staff with a bandage on his forehead. Here's hoping he's ok...I would say a CAT scan was on the agenda after he left the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paint it Black Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Had a great time today. Sat in section 530. Although I forgot how baseball stupid most people are that go to games. Apparently, according to the dude sitting behind me, it's rude to boo former players and coaches. Especially players because, "all they did was get traded." Also this guy sitting in front of me kept yelling "Andruw Jones sucks" in the 8th after Lillibridge got thrown out stealing. This older woman and him got into a great argument. I'm still not sure as to why he hated Andruw Jones so damn much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can't say my eyes weren't misting throughout the ceremony. So glad I went. And great to hear the fan reaction to Fisk and Dye as well. Dye seemed genuinely moved.

103 mph screwball Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I had to work yesterday and I missed it. I just watched the video. I couldn't help feeling emotional for Big Frank. My two favorite players of all time, Fisk and Thomas, next to each other on the field and on the wall. Wow. I try to put in perspective because it is just baseball and there are a lot of important things in life, but that ceremony for Frank was an awesome moment that I'm glad I got to see. Wish I could have been there to cheer until I lost my voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 So glad I spent the extra $$$ and went to the game. When they showed Frank tear up at the WS parade, you know he was gonna get emotional again. Just an awesome ceremony for my favorite player who I grew up watching. And the best player in Sox history of course. Those bobbleheads are going for over $50 on eBay right now, might have to sell the one the wife snagged. Gotta keep one of them though.

I learned how to properly eBay Sox giveaways in 2006. Every little WS trinket given away would sell for a ton of money during the 1st 24 hours. Place the item on there the same day/night of the giveaway, offer free shipping, and make it a one day auction and you'll earn the most that you can for that item. I did 3 day and 5 day auctions at first in 2006 and didn't get nearly as much as the ones that expired within 24 hours so I applied that same formula for the bobblehead yesterday.

I was more annoyed with the amount of douche Yankee fans that didn't stand up during the ceremony. You stay classy New Yawkers. I'm pretty sure I'd stand up and cheer for the guy if it were Bernie Williams or Paul O'Neill day.
