Ball Played: Lindor, Indians laugh in the face of adversity
September 17, 2015Browns Film Room: Johnny Manziel’s long road ahead
September 17, 2015We can all agree that Francisco Lindor is a breath of fresh, quality baseball-playing air in the city of Cleveland. Unfortunately for one tattooed Tribe fan, Lindor’s big bat in Wednesday night’s win led to a heated exchange in the left field bleachers.
In the bottom of the first inning, Lindor’s home run splashed a quarter of the way up the aluminum stands, leading to fans scurrying for the ball. The fan who ended up coming away with it did so after spilling half a beer from a fan two seats over. Naturally, the latter fan took issue with his $8 beverage being tossed to the cement, taking his frustration up with the younger fan who was more concerned with the $2 ball.
Check out the video above courtesy of FOX Sports 1. We’re not sure what the fallout was, but we tend to side with the commentary—bro should’ve bought another beer. Instead, it appears he opted for some complementary attitude.

People of any age who dive and climb over seats and chairs like monkeys for foul balls and HR balls need to be banned from ballparks across the nation.
Agree that bro tats should have showed some class, not at all shocked that he didn’t.
That said, watch the cup – it was half full/empty when knocked, but actually lands perfectly and only about 1/2 of what was in there spills out, leaving about 1/4 left.
Desperate Browns fan refugees fleeing across borders.
Yo, Dolanz, the world is shrinking and you’ll end up involved one way or the other. At least see if Jimmy is willing to listen to your pitch. He has money, you have plenty of room. Start there.
Does the beer dude have leggings on???
Day after bean ball guy and premature fireworks eruption this would have been perfect!
Old guy: “You owe me a Bud Lite, punk.”
Young guy: “Maybe you don’t know how tough I am. I got a tattoo on my arm when I was 17. It was the Chinese word for “Bad Ass,” but turned out to actually say, “underwear skid,” so I got my baby mom’s name tattooed over it, but then it turned out that the baby wasn’t mine – and I have Montel’s paternity test to show it – so I tattooed over her name with a bad ass snake design because I’m a bad ass. In fact, I’m so bad ass that I stick my chest and chin out, with my hands down low, when I pick a fight, just so I can show you how quickly I can get my ass knocked out and then jump back up.”
Old guy: “I just ran Justin Gilbert off the road, don’t think I won’t throw you off these bleachers.”
Young guy: “Mom! Help!”
For what it’s worth, punk kid has on a 10 cent beer night t-shirt. Yeah. That’s about right. Kid clearly admires and strives for the right things.
Hey Matlock what’s the old guy holding in his right hand?
It’s either his ticket stub or a piece of crispy bacon.
Um, why was that guy’s beer unprotected? Totally your own fault pal. You’re old enough to know better
I thought maybe it was his wallet a la Martin Sheen in “Wall Street” when he says the line to his son Charlie about never judging a man by the size of his wallet. But bacon, crispy bacon, works too.
Why should you have to protect your beer from monkeys at a baseball game?
I bet if the beer was 10 cents punk kid still wouldn’t man up.
Maybe he was saving that seat for a friend
yeah looked like it was S.R.O. down there for sure
because you dont want an idiot spilling it because of a baseball?
oh snap! “I just ran Justin Gilbert off the road.” oh man, I’m rolling.
I miss the good ol’ days at the old stadium. When a foul ball would go into the empty stands you’d turn to your friend, who was sitting right next to you in General Admission, and say, “you want to get that one or should I?”
How old was the guy diving for the ball? Yikes.
You people are pretty tough on this message board. How about this. That hillbilly yelling over a beer was starting a fight with that kids mother in between them. He should have been knocked on his ass. You dbags need to take your uppity pretentious skinny jean wearing selves to an art festival or something. Going for home run balls has been a baseball tradition for as long as the sport has existed. Why else do kids bring gloves? If that beer was so important he should have had his hands on it. Losers.
