Aside from the Pittsburgh Pirates actually being in a wild-card race, there wasn't much of interest in Monday night's Chicago Cubs game. Well, aside from the super fan getting super inappropriate behind home plate.
Deadspin reports one fan got so bored with the night's proceedings that he decided to pantomime what some might consider "going to town" while watching the later innings.
He didn't make it to the end of the game.
If you want to see video of what the mind of a 12-year-old in the body of a full-grown adult looks like, you can see the video here.
Timothy Burke of Deadspin continues the report here:
Taking advantage of what we imagine was lax ninth-inning security, this gentleman found his way right behind home plate and spent most of the final stanza engaged in all manner of obscene face-making—even getting himself into Comcast SportsNet Chicago's slow-motion replays.
Eventually security came and hauled him off.
A couple of things to take from this September game that was a complete throw-away contest for Cubs fans.
Another season is chipping away at what is normally a very sensible and sane city. It seems the losses may be reaching a tipping point, causing adults to lose their minds as they sit and watch the Cubs not win; again and again.
Second, you can get kicked out for being juvenile.
We know the need to be on camera and become a minor celebrity for 15 seconds is very real and powerful for sports fans sitting in the stands, but try not to pantomime such acts.
You just end up looking foolish and get escorted from a horrible game in the end. Come to think of it, perhaps that was what this fan wanted anyway.
The Cubs lost, 3-0.
