One of the great things about baseball is all of the hijinks that can happen during the game. Last June I managed to get a seat next to the dugout. There was little to no obstruction, which was great. What I saw was the relief pitchers having some fun. It was early in the game so the relief guys didn’t head out to the bullpen yet. They decided to play some tricks on the fans. They took a ball, made string using athletic tape, attached it to the ball, and threw it over the top of the dugout. The ol’ ball on a string trick worked for a while, tricking some of the people. The fans thought they were getting a souvenir, until they saw the string. The prank was going well but then one of the players accidentally let go of the string and the ball finally made it into the crowd.
As the game progressed, the home team was winning in a blowout so the guys did some more things A pitcher or two took a couple of water balloons from the on field promo girls and chucked them at them as well. I busted up laughing. If I can recall properly, I believe there was even a reilver taking a nap as well. Those were definitely some good times.
