Do you remember a time when the Toronto Blue Jays players could actually get a timely hit and score some runs? Or how about when Tom Henke would be called in from the bullpen to save a game and he'd actually get the job done?
I miss those days.
From the mid-80's to the early 90's, going to a Blue Jays game at Exhibition Stadium and Skydome were a lot of fun and odds were good the team would win. Tickets were not easy to come by unlike today when you can just show up at game time and get a seat almost anywhere.
Going to the ballpark you were guaranteed an entertaining game and perhaps some extracurricular excitement as well.
I can recall attending one particular game and I was sitting in the bleachers at Skydome right behind George Bell in left field. Out of the stands came a guy wearing nothing but a jock strap. He ran over to Bell and then quickly exited the field, put on his clothes and took his seat. When security finally showed up, they were unable to locate the guy. The best part was the crowd deliberately pointing security away from the pseudo streaker and having to give up their search.
Recently at a Boston Red Sox game, a drunk fan wasn't quite as fortunate. Leave it to a Red Sox supporter to get it all wrong. Not only did he leave all of his clothes on but he was so darn slow that the old guy that tracks down the foul balls could have nabbed him. Of course, the good news was he payed a bit of a price for his antics as you'll see in the Clip of the Week.
