Number 600!!!! Fly out
Posted by meech.one at 4:45 pm ET 5 Comments

Observe, as Ken Griffey, Jr. almost hits number 600 to dead centerfield in the 9th inning this afternoon:

Those disrespectful Philadelphia fans — who once booed Santy Claus — lived up to their reputation of being classless buffoons. As you can tell by the video footage, they yell at Griffey as he walks back to the dugout (probably expletives) and rise to their feet while smashing their hands together loudly in anger.

Freakin’ animals. They should be caged!

And um, Cole Hamels, complete game shutout.

    And what was with all the whistling? sons of bitches.

  2. Chamomiles Davis Says:

    My theory on why journalists, and sports fans in other cities, are so upset about Philly fans booing Santa Claus is because many of them are actually stupid enough to believe he is real.

  3. Gaze Says:

    I like the applause at Griffey’s last at bat, but the crowd was going wild all game long for him. He hit a double and got a standing ovation… a little inappropriate if you ask me. Griffey got more love than Hamels did!

  4. Gonzo Says:

    Gaze, maybe Hamels deserves more love. But he is a crumudgen. Never see him smile or have any personality.

  5. Clare Says:

    Gaze, Gonzo:

    To Hamels’ credit, he does sign autographs along the first base line on days he doesn’t start (as does Moyer–I think Grampy has been a good influence on him in that respect). And when I met him [cough cough] at an autograph show [cough] I was surprised at how warm and cheerful he was. I thought he’d be cold and aloof. But on days Hamels pitches he takes the game very, very seriously. His focus is remarkable. When he’s pitching, he absolutely DOES NOT acknowledge the stands until he comes out of the game.
