Nah, that'd be a waste of beer. We'd definitely throw a $1.00 dog at him.

You could be right. Either a hot dog, batteries, or vomit would be my guess.

Knew the batteries thing was coming. I can't believe you didn't bring up Santa Claus. That's all we ever hear from out of towners.

Hey, at least in Oakland they throw quarters at the visiting teams players. They must be feeling rich in the ghettos these days.

I thought about it, but it usually doesn't snow during the baseball season. Unless they'd throw an actual Santa Claus at him, which would be pretty impressive.

Since we're now talking about hotdogs, I felt this was necessary:

Lol looks like Gus Fring (maybe it's supposed to?).

Beats me, I feel like I first saw it before Breaking Bad was a thing.

Well there is fried chicken in the background.

Button found.
You go into the stands for a play, then shove a guy in the chest, you're lucky all you get is a bird. I'm surprised he didn't end up wearing a beer.

I also heard somewhere (ESPN radio I think) that the fan that caught the ball was in some kind of leg/knee brace and had crutches with him?

So Adams reaches into fan territory, pushes down an already visibly injured fan who was completely within the rules, and then walks off in frustration and the fan is the classless one?

I can't believe they didn't do worse? If it was my wife and friends Adams would have already been on the ground and I'd be calling Aaron to borrow bail money. He couldn't make the play, so he turned into a whining little child. I personally don't think its his fault, I think St. Louis puts a clause in all of their contracts that requires their players act that way. But kidding aside, he put his hands on a fan who didn't do anything wrong, so this one's pretty black and white. Adams was wrong, he overreacted, so he'll take his mini-suspension and move on. Completely disagree that the fans were the classless ones though. What were they supposed to do? Sit there quietly?

This is being blown way out of proportion. I wouldn't classify that as a shove at all. He shouldn't have done it, but he didn't knock the guy down, he put his glove hand on the guys shoulder and lightly pushed. That wouldn't make my 85 year old grandma fall down

Shut up Aaron, we found a way to rip on the holier than thou St. Louis Cardinals

Yeah, I thought it was pretty much a "yeah, you got me, ha ha," type of playful push. I'd laugh if somebody like Ortiz or Gonzalez did that to me.

Am I the only one thinking this guy's way too old to wear a glove at a game, so he got what he deserved?

Nope, it seems pretty strange to me too.

Holy homer Batman. Here's the first rule of Fight Club: When you go into the stands, don't push a fan.

JP & Aaron, you know I'm a fan of both of you, but finding any justifiable reason (IT WAS BARELY A SHOVE! IT WAS PLAYFUL!) to do what Adams did is rationalizing the irrational. It was comically stupid.

However, anyone over the age of 15 that wears a glove should get shoved by someone. Just not a player.

I'm with Z here...everyone's stupid. Goddamn maroon-wearing midwestern yokel teams and their pissant trashy fans.

I never said he should have done it or that it was smart.

Why is this still a topic of discussion? Move along, people.

Can we all just agree that Adams shouldn't have put his hand on a fan, whatever his intentions? And that the fan shouldn't have flipped the bird at a player?

Can we all agree that this is really much ado about nothing?

Looking forward to the game today. The first series was championship quality baseball to start the year. Great games. This incident was stupid, and the reactions of some to it, even more so.

No.
