More Interesting Than Watching A Royals Game From Behind Home Plate: Books
Here's an esteemed gent in the high-price seats of Kauffman Stadium using a leisurely weeknight at the ballpark to catch up on some reading.

Andruw Jones Used A Rangers Fan As His Outfield Toss Warmup Partner Tonight
Yankees outfielder (and former Ranger) Andruw Jones had some fun with a Texas fan tonight before the bottom of the ninth inning of New York's 7-4 win.

Fox Sports Detroit Reporter Videobombed By Tongue-Wagging Texas Rangers Fan
The Tigers had just taken the lead thanks to Brennan Boesch's home run, and when the Fox Sports Detroit broadcast returned for the start of the seventh inning, it went straight to reporter Shannon Hogan out there in the stands.

This Drunk Lady Keeled Over In The Aisle During A Mavs Game
Friday night. Dallas. Spotlights beam down on a meaningless game, the playoff-bound (but underwhelming) Mavs against the tanking Golden State Warriors. The game is a spectacle. A party, really.

Panthers Somehow Blame Devils Fans For Ruining Rat-Throwing Tradition

Philly Fan Does Most Philly Fan Thing Ever After Last Night's Flyers Loss
Despite falling behind early, Pittsburgh eked out a 3-2 Game Five win over the Flyers last night, extending the series and forcing a Game Six in Philadelphia tomorrow.

Clearly, Steroids Are Still A Problem In Major League Baseball
Witness the physique of the hero known only as The Mighty K.C., who terrorizes the children who can be found amongst the 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, or 600 fans who are just there, there, at Safeco Field; having done his work, he heads off into the great unknown....
Diamondbacks Fan Catches Foul Ball, Does Not Drop Pizza

This Young Pens Fan Brought Her Teddy Bear To Last Night's Game. The Bear's Name? "Miller Lite."
Kids give their stuffed animals crazy names. When I was little, I had a stuffed bunny named "Ted Kennedy."
