What the comedian got on Opening Day Tuesday were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - or, at least, two fans dressed up like the fictional characters.<br />The two turtles sat directly behind home plate in clear view of the national broadcast on ESPN and the local one on YES. The turtles -- identified as John Welch and Joe Spilo of Yorktown, according to Newsday -- won a contest from Oliver's Sunday Show "Last Week Tonight" in which fans were asked to use the Twitter hashtag #IHaveNeverSatInAPremiumLocation. In the contest, fans went to Twitter with pictures of their "riffraff" attire they would wear in the premium seats.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-54776173713028218192016-04-05T09:54:29.149-07:002016-04-05T09:54:29.149-07:00I've had the same two seats for almost 20 year...I've had the same two seats for almost 20 years at Fenway and I have never wondered whether the people on either side of me paid full price or not for their seats.<br /><br />So how do I tell whether or not the person next to me in the premium location paid full price? Do I take note of the lack of a tie, the missing Gucci handbag, or maybe the skin color? Please enlighten me, Mr. Trost...<br /><br />"Elitist asshole" is almost too nice of a term.FenFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093124081174881768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-70302326772443088062016-04-04T19:47:15.275-07:002016-04-04T19:47:15.275-07:00Blast From The Past: "Did Police Eject A Man ...Blast From The Past: "<a href="http://joyofsox.blogspot.ca/2008/08/did-police-eject-man-from-yankee.html" rel="nofollow">Did Police Eject A Man From Yankee Stadium For Trying To Use The Bathroom During "God Bless America"?</a>"allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-5327270525942918742016-04-04T17:34:15.933-07:002016-04-04T17:34:15.933-07:00Not at all.Not at all.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-88463970886771994742016-04-04T17:18:55.250-07:002016-04-04T17:18:55.250-07:00Surprised?
