Creatures
As I sat in the right field bleachers at the Yankee game last night talking to my uncle on the phone, I realized that Section 39 in its entirety had started chanting “Lose that tie.” I turned towards them and saw a portly, sleeveless shirt-wearing, Eastern European-looking guy leading the chant, rhythmically pointing his finger at me and my (J.Crew large-dot) tie. The chant then transitioned into “buy buy buy, sell sell sell,” insinuating that I looked like a “stockbroker or something.”
After recognizing that I was in fact wearing a Yankees hat and I was one of them, the barrage of fan-on-fan heckling abated and a deal was struck when I agreed to “at least loosen it, bro.” The crowd went wild.
God, I love Yankees games, New York, and the right field bleachers.
