Here is a clip from my night at the A's game. I was making a joke about the sign story from last week. Each time the Jays would bat I would look through my binoculars then raise my sign. During the top of the second inning, I guessed several pitches correctly (by luck) and the Blue Jays scored which started to piss off a few A's fans. Most of the fans understood it was a joke and couldn't stop laughing. Then security came down to discuss what I was doing. I told them is was all just a joke, then an MLB exec came down to determine if I could really steal signs from my seats. I was told to stop it and I apologized for the misunderstanding.

I had NO idea that was you! They're airing it on MLB Network. I like the idea!

Good work!

I guess you need to make it more obvious that it's a joke. :rolleyes:

Kyle,

Thanks for letting me know. I uploaded their verion. Sounds like on the MLB network they had a sense of humor about it, the MLB exec at the park was just the opposite.

I remember he was saying how the following pitch really was a strike when you threw up the "FASTBALL" lol....hopefully there's someplace you can see a replay of it

I flew up from AZ to catch the games this weekend.
I sat in RF last night with a group of friends and we were riding Bautista pretty good. At one point he turned around and make a muscle and pointed to it like a tool and one of us yelled "it's easy to hit HR's when you know what pitch is coming."

Then he took to letting us know how many outs there were. About 2 innings after Willingham hit the 2 run HR he turned around after the 2nd out and help up two fingers and I yelled "yep that's how many runs you're losing by". He never told us how many outs after that.

That sign is awesome btw!!

I love that, that is very creative! That doesn't just take balls, that takes serious creativity as well. I applaud that one!
