15 Most Annoying Baseball Fans
We’ve all experienced them. Here is Fantasy Baseball Dugout’s rundown of the Top 15 Most Annoying Baseball Fans.
DRUNK JAYS FAN: A-Rod You Suck!
15. Runs on the field — OK, I have to admit, that I kind of like this guy and at times I’ve even cheered for him, but to be politically correct, I have to list him here.
14. Texter Guy — Constantly texting his wife or girlfriend while at the game.
13. Jersey Guy — Wears a replica jersey with his own name on the shirt! Do you really think we will believe that your sorry ass was once on the Yankees?
12. Fat Guy — Doesn’t fit in the seat. The same guy that sits next to me on most of my flights.
11. Know it All — Schools his son on how he should change his batting stance while telling him all the wrong things to do.
10. The Drunk Guy — It’s not so bad that he’s drinking and obnoxious, but why does anybody get drunk for $7.50 per beer? Plus, there’s the 9 trips per game to the bathroom.
9. Ball-Strike Guy — Yells at the ump from the upper deck on balls and strikes! Like he can see them from 400 feet away!
8. Camera Guy — The guy behind the plate who spends the entire game on his cell phone talking to his friends while waving his arms to get on camera.
7. Glove Guy — The guy who brings his glove. Exactly what are the chances that a ball will be hit to him in a 50,000 seat stadium? 1 in 50,000 I guess.
6. Ex-Jock — The guy who brags about the no hitter who threw…in Little League.
5. Work Buddies — They got the free tickets from the boss and show up in their suits and talk about things at the office the entire game.
4. Ball Guy — Constantly yells at the players and bat boys to toss his nerdy kid a ball.
3. Shirtless Guy — If you have the body of Prince Fielder, keep your shirt on…please.
2. Wave Idiot — Constantly tries to start a wave, then gets pissed when the other fans don’t join in.
1. Fantasy Baseball Jerk — Tells the players that they are “on his fantasy baseball team.” Like they care.

The guy that didn't make the list (that should be on) is the guy who stands up and waves his arms to try to get everyone else to stand up.

The list comprises 80% of the fans at the game.
May 23rd, 2010 at 4:10 pm
how about the reject who swears at everything and everyone knowing damn well there are kids all around the park

@dave – yeah… TOTALLY hate that guy!
@johnny – … and think about the number of fans that comprise more than one of these annoying traits.
@anthony – some people can't hold their beer, or their tongue. a shame for sure.
one fan type that we kept off the list is the guy who sits in the middle of the row and CONSTANTLY orders food and rounds of beer from the seat vendors. sure, he'd be annoying if he got up every inning, but seriously bro, do you really need to have me pass your money, brats, and beers down the line the entire game? these guys should not only tip the seat vendor, but the peeps who pass down the lane too. LAME.

or the guy that talks about all the suppossedly winning bets he made on the games being played that day. Does the same during football, basketball & hockey seasons.
May 24th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
he's always got winners, too. ALWAYS.
May 24th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
How about the fan who spends the whole game judging the rest of the fans so he can blog about them?
May 24th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
HOW ABOUT THE GUY WHO FALLS A SLEEP DURING THE GAME AFTER
PAYING 40 BUCKS TO GET THE GAME

I do not agree with number 7 unless im just lucky because I have gone to many Mariners games and have caught at least 10 balls, whether they are foul and fair, and to me i would much rather catch a ball in a glove then try and be the hero who breaks his hand and in the end loses the ball to the smart kid next to him
May 25th, 2010 at 4:27 am
How about the poor guy who gets drunk, passes out and fans sitting in his section start to stack empty beer cups on his head.
May 25th, 2010 at 11:36 am
Hey man… congrats on catching all those balls. But think back… how many of those were hand breaker line drives? I'm guessing not many. You probably could have caught them with or without the glove.
Of course, that's just IMO.
May 25th, 2010 at 11:37 am
For real… that guy should have just stayed home.
May 25th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Brandon. Since the M's only average 25,000 fans per game, your chances are dramatically improved so keep wearing your glove! But, if you catch a game in Philly, New York, or LA, don't bother.

If you know where to sit — and if you have a young son you will — pop-ups can become quite common and the highlight of some games (to a 9 year old, I mean). With all these candidates to choose from, if you are bugged by a guy wearing a glove to a game then you may be one of the nuts that, for some odd reason, we are taking time to categorize. Loosen it up just a bit.
By the way, have you ever tried wearing a glove through a whole game? Last time I tried I was 12. I never came close but the glove definitely saved me from lowing all my teeth one game. If I were a better Dad I would take a glove just to make sure my Son didn't get a split head and to max his chances of coming home with a better memory than the barfing guy.

Nice comment bro. That’s what I thought the minute I started reading this list. But what’s the point of making comment here, if its not just for fun, so I’ll get in the bandwagon;
I’m more at hockey game than baseball game (cuz in Mtl, the Expos got screwed by a sob) so, what about the fan whos asking you to stay seated cuz he cant see when you get up, like hes in his living room!!

I know you mention all guys, but what about the ex wife who got the tickets in the divorce. The ones who show up late, complain that they have to actually go in order to keep tickets away from husband, then leave ofter 30 minutes. Such a waste of tickets, I am just glad I never had to experience the loss of the tickets, just the women complaining in front of me.
May 25th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
I hear you BrushBack. I am a season ticket holder in Philly so I have some of the worst around me. I sure hope another guy gets tasered soon.
May 25th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
I forgot one of the worst baseball fans. The guy who leaves in the ninth inning in a tie game!
