The Bleacher Creatures

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Anyone here ever sat with the Bleacher Creatures in Yankee Stadium? What was it like?

I'm a bit cheesed off that I never got the chance to sit with them in the old stadium, but at least they will still be there in the new one. (They sat in Section 39 in the old Yankee Stadium, and will apparently be in Section 203 in the new one - Section 203 is in roughly the same place, geographically, and Bald Vinny's already got Section 203 t-shirts ready.)

Although they will probably hang their own sign in the new park with the name 'Section 39' on it.

Also, does anyone know if any other teams have their own equivalent to the Bleacher Creatures, and if so, where they sit?

I still like the original "Bleacher Bums" of Wrigley. And besides the Bleacher Bums were FIRST...

No, but as a Red Sox fan it would be hilarious.

If I wanted to sit with assholes, I go to Yankee Stadium, if I want to sit with baseball fans, I go to Fenway.

I'm sorry I upset you.

I did have a great time at Fenway last spring (even though I'm hardly a Sox fan). I will grant that much. It was even worth almost getting trampled to death trying to get into the Kenmore T station.

Oh hell, I am just giving you shit.

And yes the Kenmore T is hell. Thats why I drive in.

Quite.

Ten to one I actually make it back to Boston before that sumbitch is done with the construction and all that crap.

So you're saying that Fenway doesn't actually have an equivalent? What are the bleachers like there? (That'd be pretty much the only ticket I could afford on my own... )

 

[Tom Servo]

Oh they have them. Trust me, it's where I sit where I go and it's a blast. I mean I like to heckle, but not to the extent of being a complete asshole, it is just a game. And yeah, some people take it over the top, but they are usually dealt with by security. Overall though its a fun experience, just try to take things in stride.

That was a thouroughly entertaining article. There's nothing like that at Turner Field, but I should definitely start something!
