"The Mets front office did not appreciate this development. A request was radioed to me in the costume: Please go over to the cheering section and tell them to stop cheering for the opposing player. Now."

"One of my personal favorites was the time the Mets played the San Diego Padres in the final home game of the 1996 season. Tony Gwynn was chasing his fourth National League batting title... a small, dedicated group of fans decided to give Gwynn his own personal cheering section: TONY! TONY! TONY!

Nice call. With a gaggle of red-hat wearing, AR-toting young Republicans lurking in wait to kill the mood.
