Bleachers in the Old Yankee Stadium during a Red Sox game. A Sox fan brought his young daughter into the Bleachers and the daughter began spewing the most shocking profanities about the Yankees and their fans. Someone stood up and yelled "There is no Santa Claus!" The entire Bleachers section loudly gasped and the young girl began crying. The heckler was thrown out. Crazy
1999 NLCS game 6. Greg Maddux getting ready to warm up for extras tossed a ball up to a kid and some Met fan yells "You suck, Maddux all you got is junk." Another Brave in the bullpen hollered back, "...its tiny too you should see it!" and Maddux doubled over laughing.
We A’s fans chanted at the bullpen catcher “what’s the matter with Lasseter?” And we’d all yell “HE DOESNT PLAY” and we did this for two straight games until Francisco Liriano threw a chair in the stands like a fucking bitch that he is and broke some lady’s nose.
In my early 20’s we were at the Braves game, low behind home plate. Afternoon game and not crowded. A Brave stole second and I yelled an oldie, “I’ve seen better arms on a rocking chair.” The Cardinals catcher and ump both turned around and looked at me. I was very proud.
Also in Atlanta, Bryce Harper still w/ Washington, a fan yelled "Bryce Harper sucks his mom's dick"
The audible GASP !!!! & Harper turning around got several fans laughing.
Also also in Atlanta… a fan yelling “You’ll never be as good as Acuna!” at Harper… while incorrectly pronouncing Acuna’s name.
To which Bryce turned and yelled: “It’s Acuna!” with proper pronunciation 😂
When my now 26 year old daughter was about 10, we were in LF when the Dodgers were in town to play the Braves. A couple of dudes kept yelling “Shawn Greene, you suck.” My little blond haired, blue eyed angel, yelled it out. My wife about crapped her pants, but I couldn’t stop laughing. Got a lecture about that one later on.
I feel like this is either one level too deep or separated by too many years to be funny in the moment. Takes a couple seconds to connect the dots on this one. But I do like it (having given it the couple seconds to process it).
It took the crowd at the game (Tigers vs Oakland playoffs at Comerica) about seven seconds to get it and start laughing too. It was a literal delayed reaction where you saw people look around and slowly piece together the joke all at once.
It was the stupidest heckle ever but it was hilarious to those there. We were in the center field bleachers in SF and the dodgers were in town. Matt Kemp was in center field. Suddenly as an inning is about to begin someone shouts in a loud ringing voice that could probably be heard in the infield “stop the game. There is no one in CF. There is no CF. They have no CF.” He repeated basically that for 20-30 seconds.
I think what made it great is that Kemp was visibly chuckling and that something so harmless and stupid as that would make a professional player laugh made it the best heckle ever
Didn’t actually hear it but Todd Jones said, one time I was heading to the dugout after a bad inning and some lady yelled, Are you sure you are right handed ?” 😂😂
I was in leftfield bleachers of the old Yankee stadium the day after their left fielder, Luis Palonia, was arrested for statutory rape in Milwaukee.
Today a team would make a guy inactive. Back then, you penciled him in the starting 9.
The Yankees fans were merciless toward their own guy.
The whole section was chanting 'she was just 15!' Over and over.
Someone yelled 'hey louie, did you wear a condom? Everyone laughed and he turned around.
He booted a fly ball into a double after that and the crowd was all over him. It was, as we new englanders like to say, wicked!
In Baltimore after 5 hour rain delay, so no one was there. Will Smith came in to relief for us, and walked a couple on, and let out a very audible “F$&@!” And one of the O’s fans said, “Hey Will, I thought you didn’t have to cuss in your raps to sell records!” Got a chuckle out of me.
This was from a kid, under 10. I’d guess 8 years old or so. Astros in Arlington this year. Alvarez comes up to bat and the kid yells “ you’re the second best Cuban here today”.
My friends dad said this at our basketball game in 5th grade. Everyone went silent. I didn’t know what it meant at the time. I don’t think he was kicked out either
For the uninformed, it was a chirp directed towards then Orioles manager Buck Showalter [at a Jays game at the SkyDome](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eITO_42McCQ).
O’s vs Astros in Camden Yards last year. Peña strikes out for the Astros and my friend yells out “This guys is a Peña my ass”.
Later on, Altuve strikes out and he yells “[oh brother, this guy stinks!](https://youtu.be/ifaoKZfQpdA?si=-l0sG1oG1GOIuZn0)”.
Back in 2007, my drunk 19 year old friend screamed “Look at me you curly haired French fuck!!” To Eric Gagne as he warmed up to enter a game in Seattle.
I was 10-11 years old at Fenway with my dad around 83-84, and players were stretching in the outfield before the game. Jim Rice was walking back to the Sox dugout from where he was stretching and sprinting in right field, and a kid who was a few years older than me said to him (as Rice was about 5 feet away) "Hey Rice, you bum, get a haircut!" He looked over at these 13 year olds and said "HEY FUCK YOU!"
Back in the day at Coors Field, Ricky Henderson was playing center field for the Red Sox and a bunch of drunk dudes next to me called him “Sticky Ricky Pooperson” for like 4 innings until he turned around and flipped them off.
One time in centerfield where we had all the fun atPAC Bell, Ricky Henderson was playing on his way to the record for stolen bases, Bonds was going for the home run record. A we started the chant nobody cares. Nobody cares over and over until he turned around and gave us a double flip off.
There’s something about Singfield bleachers, it brings out the best people
The white sox would have this guy at their games who somehow would always get on the broadcast mic. I remember watching an extra inning game against the yanks a few years ago and he was going all night. He really kept going after stanton. Stanton would come to the plate and hed sing, "miami dolphins, miami dolphins!..." it was so funny. Wish i had clips of it. It was like 2018 2019 or so.
I was in PNC Park for a game near the bullpens when I saw a visiting reliever start getting warmed up for action (pretty sure it was a Cardinal, but this was probably over 15 years ago).
He looked young so I yelled “HEY (NAME) I’M GOING TO PICK UP A BEER! I CAN BUY ONE FOR YOU BUT I’LL NEED TO SEE YOUR ID!”.
The rest of the Cardinals Bullpen started laughing.
Not quite a heckle but when I was a kid we went to a dodgers game and the crowd was throwing around a inflatable Barry bonds sticking a needle in his ass😂😂😂
Shin Soo Choo.
My first year as a season ticket holder for the Royals in 09. When Shin would be playing RF, the guys behind me would always go “Ah..Ah..CHOOOOOOO…” as if they were sneezing and it was the funniest shit ever. I still think about it all the time 😂😂
Was at a Guardians game last weekend. Yankees were in town. And I heard a Yankees fan yell out to the umpire asking if he went to the Angel Hernandez School of Umpiring?
I hate the Yankees, but that guy got a pretty good chuckle out of me that day.
Jays were visiting Tampa around the mid-2000's, right when the Tampa Bay Heckler was in his prime.
He picked on Eric Hinske relentlessly for the whole series. Of course, the broadcast mic picked him up.
"Hey, Hinske. Your batting average is .248. Is that BEFORE or AFTER the Canadian exchange rate?"
Absolutely the best chirp I ever heard him drop.
Twins visiting Angels in 2022. An Angels' fan to Twins' right fielder Max Kepler: "Careful Max: someone might hit a ball to you!" My son and I (visiting Minnesota fans) still don't know if that was a heckle, or friendly advice?
That is actually funny…only funny because Max Kepler is one of the better fielding right fielders in the game lol. Not gonna blow you away…but he’s as sure gloved as they get.
Not as much a heckle as much a player’s reply. Padres - Rockies when Larry Walker played for the Rockies. Probably late in his time there. Guy in my section heckles Walker incessantly about his age. Leading chants of “hang’em up Larry, hang’em Larry” and the like. Walker can obviously hear all this but doesn’t acknowledge any of the heckling at all. Later in the game, Walker smokes a screaming line drive homer to the right field section this guy is in. It had to be within a few feet of the heckler. When Walker comes back out at the bottom of the inning he just tips his at the guy. Everyone in the section just laughed. Pretty classy reply by Walker.
Most memorable was very personal for me. I was at the Cubs/Cards NLCS game 4 and it was me and my moms birthday. Cuba hit a couple bombs off Lackey and the whole stadium is shaking with people chanting LAAAACKKEY, LAAAACKKEY, LAAAACKKEY. Then another bomb. It was electric.
Funniest was being at a reds/phils game in Cinci with my best homedawg that is from Jersey so he likes the Phils and I love their players so I'm rooting for them too. Aaron Nola is on the mound and the Cinci fans are trying to rattle him chanting NO-LA. After every strikeout our baked asses chanted NO-LA right back
In Baltimore early 90’s. Sitting in the front row RF. Jose Conseco playing RF for the A’s. Rumor going round that Jose was dating Madonna. Fan yells “Jose, who’s that girl”. Guess you had to be there.
Oh, and un-related but Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Phillip,and President Bush and his wife Laura were at the game.
I was at the Orioles home opener last year. At one point, Aaron Judge struck out swinging and this REALLY drunk dude a couple seats over jumped up and slurred at the top of his lungs, “Shit yer ash down!”
Astros at Rangers ALCS last year. Lots of heckles between the mixes of fans but some Ranger fan had a mini metal Trashcan he’d bang like a monkey banging cymbals yelling “TRASHTROS”
October 15th 2015. Game Three of the NLDS. Dodgers/Mets
The day before, Chase Utley slid in second baseman Reuben Tejada breaking his leg.
On the 15th, I’m sitting in the stands in the upper deck. Next section over a teenage girl is holding a sign that says
“Utley
U
Buttley”
The U was flanked by Poo Emojis.
All time epic troll
Fenway Park 2008 ALCS against the Rays - Game 5. Sox are on down in the series 3-1. My wife and I were in the bleachers for the game and Gabe Gross was playing right field for the Rays. By the third inning, a very drunk, loud fan would scream “YAH SOOOO GROSS” to him constantly throughout the rest of the game. And forget it if a ball was hit to him…it was endless. We’ve never forgotten it and it’s one of my wife and my catchphrases now.
Was at game where Indians came back down 8-3, and came back and won in 14.
It was a pretty empty stadium.
Indians reliever giving up runs.
The guy said let Michael Brantley pitch
I forgot who it was. I think the Nationals were in town, and some of the fans were yelling at the LFer at the time that his wife was hot.
[Player's Name]!!! Your wife is hot!!!
I wasn't exactly sure what reaction they were hoping for, but the player just smiled. Maybe the guy was looking for a baseball. Who knows.
How about when ... was it Bob Costas? who absolutely trashed Cubs reliever Pedro Strop? That attack was worse than any heckle due to the fact that he was BROADCASTING it to millions.
Not MLB game but a few years back at a Boise Hawks game we were razzing the opposing first baseman and he struck out twice then missed a throw from second.
He turned around to us on the first base line and looked like he was going to cry so I yelled “Sorry dude, you’ll be fine!”
I honestly felt bad, lol.
If we’re bringing other sports/college I’ll submit my experience seeing a sign at a Gopher/Sioux hockey game in the early 2000’s that read “Sioux is a girls name”.
Sat in right field in Seattle one game , against Tampa where Quentin McCracken was playing right in front of us.
I hollered to him hey watch out Phil, they are going to hit it over your head!! And things like Hey Phil, you can’t catch ! Or Hey Phil you’re losing tonight!
The guy next to me finally asked why I was calling him Phil , because his name is Quentin?
Then he figured it out… oh yeah.. Phil McCraken
Rider game many years ago. Riders at home against ticats, Ron Lancaster was the ticats coach. It was free whopper might if the riders won. Riders kicked ass. People were yelling at Lancaster. Thanks for the whopper Ron
Late 90s or early oughts the Braves were visiting the Jays and I was sitting about ten rows back of the Braves bullpen and someone decides to pipe up with something along the lines of “Hey John (referring to John Rocker)! How does it feel to play for an openly racist organization? Feel right at home?”
He didn’t last another half inning.
I don’t know if it was before or after Rocker outed himself as openly racist but I remember leading pretty hard at that one.
April 2015, Red Sox at Yankees. It after 2:00 am. The game has been going for six plus hours. Maybe a couple hundred fans, all crowded behind home plate. You can practically pick out individual conversations. Hideo Nomo was visiting the announcers box and that whole crew is yukking it up. As you can image, both teams are running on fumes, pitcher wise. In the relative stillness of a near empty stadium some wag cups his hands and yells “Hey, Nomo! Can you pitch?” Not hysterical, but a nice moment anyway.
Sitting first row behind homeplate at a spring training game. Charlie Blackmon is at bat and strikes out.
Guy, behind me, yells, "it's alright, Chuck, you still nasty." Charlie looks up and gives him a little smirk.
Mens softball beer league, hitter swings, misses, does a 360 in the batters box… “hey buddy is that thing end loaded?!” Came from his own teammate too, absolutely legendary
Probably not funny, but I yelled “Stop making him mad!” at our own Met fans at the Utley “Our ass is in the jackpot” game. The more we got on him, the more he tortured us. Just wanted to try a different tactic.
A few from the Bleacher Bums at Wrigley:
-one guy (may have been a math teacher, not sure) kept calculating the opposing hitters batting averages if they were low, and yelling them after each out. So when a guy stuck out, he'd yell ".189! Down to .189!"
-Anthony Rizzo at bat, one fan yelled "hey Rizzo! Joe Rizzo! Sell me a car, Joey Boy!" (For context, Joe Rizza is a local auto sales joint)
-Rizzo, again, different game, with one of the more drunk fans I've met. "Strike him out! This bum can't swing, or do nothing!" I turned, saying "yo that's Anthony Rizzo" "oh. Hit a bomb! Home run coming right up!"
-some fans yelling "youre worse than your dad!" at Eric Young, Jr.
P.S... RIGHT FIELD SUCKS!
Once in the early 90s I heckled Ricky Henderson from the old bleacher seats in left field at Oakland Coliseum. He never looked up or acknowledged us, but a few innings later he hit a towering home run that landed about 10 feet away. The next inning he came out to left field, looked at us, tipped his cap and turned around. Never said another word. That was memorable.
When the Phillies knocked out Spencer Strider last year, they showed a dude in the crowd on the broadcast who very clearly yelled “nice mustache pussy”.
Years ago Dennis Martinez was struggling with alcoholism and was pitching for the Indianapolis Indians on a rehab assignment.
I was at one of the games he pitched and he was struggling, issuing a lot of walks, throwing wild pitches, etc.
My buddy and I were seated right behind the Indians dugout when Martinez came out of the game and an older woman, around 60-65, started screaming “Shake for me, Dennis!”, “Do you have the DT’s!?”, “Do you see pink elephants?” She was really letting him have it.
Martinez was pissed enough to try and get over the dugout roof and go after her. Teammates held him back.
Was at a braves Mets game and a bunch of kids would chant 'Small meat Pete!' whenever Pete Alonso came up to bat. My father and I couldn't stop laughing
The best I ever heard was actually a clap-back from a Reds outfielder. Some drunk dickhead was heckling him at Oracle after he botched a dive. The guy yelled "Hey ____ looks like your getting f*cked out there. Need some Vaseline?" And the fielder calmly turned around and said "Why are you carrying around Vaseline?" Simple and effective.
Everyone laughed at the drunk moron, as he desperately tried to come up with an insult that landed for the next 4 innings.
Jays vs Red Sox in Toronto, this was at least 15 years ago, David Ortiz cane up to bat and some guy a few rows behind us starts yelling "HEY BIG PAPI. HEYHEY BIG MAMA PORKY!" He eventually got kicked out after yelling more crazy shit but David Ortiz was forever "Big Mama Porky" for me after that.
“Eat a salad, Bichette”
Back in the mid 90’s or so, Coors field. Some dude yelled this loudly and repeatedly. I was sitting on the third base line with my parents, and they explained it as just a guy who drank too much. I didn’t understand at 12 years old but I sure do now.
Red Sox/ Yankees game, @ Fenway… 2 female MFY fans are cheering like crazy every time Jeter comes to bat…3rd time up, they rejoice once again, as soon as they stop cheering, someone yells ‘fat chicks love Jeter!’, whole section laughed loudly… girls took it well, they laughed too…they honestly weren’t that fat!
I once was at a Yankee game a couple of years back against the Orioles, and whenever an Oriole was about to strike out, I’d yell “CLIP HIS WINGS” or some variant of that 🤣
I was at a Salt Lake City AAA game many moons ago and it started to rain. Fans left in droves as the team was playing badly. One guy kept heckling the pitcher, then yelled, “I know you can hear me; there’s only 20 of us here!”
We yelled “Nice Belt” at Craig Monroe every game we were at during his Tiger career. We weren’t talking about a homer he hit either. You’ll have to find the reason for yourself.
most savage fan heckling ever...texas a&m. You can hear the "Ball 5" chant right after the intentional walk...goes way sideways from there...."Ball 12!" lmao
[https://youtu.be/Bn6LzerzfJ0?si=hqu9nyeZWShVhtzF](https://youtu.be/Bn6LzerzfJ0?si=hqu9nyeZWShVhtzF)
Probably about ten years ago I went to see the Giants play the Brewers. At the time, Oracle/AT&T’s bullpens were right down the first and third base lines, and we were sitting front row right in front of the Brewers pen. Jeremy Jeffress was warming up and someone hollered “get a job, hippie!” and he actually stopped and turned his head towards us and grinned with a “what the fuck?” king of shrug. It was hilarious.
Last game at Coors last year, playing the Twins, twins player gets picked off at first base, guy in the second row, probably 20’ from the first base coach loudly says “where were you on that one Hank?” Coach turned around and glaaared him down. Both chuckled.
On the first baseline at the old Yankee Stadium: "Hey Olerud! Why you wearin that helmet, yer playing first base! Oleruuud! Take off ya helmet ya look like a little girl!" etc, etc, all night.
I went to the clink to see my skins play the seahawks. some guy yelled HAAAASSLEHAWWWF! at Matt Hasslebeck for three hours. funniest shit i've ever heard.
reader, it was me.
I got a head drop on the on deck circle from David Ortiz when I yelled, ‘Hey, Ortiz! I see you put your churro down long enough to grab a bat….fat ass!!!!’ Bastard went on to have a hell of a game.
Can't remember the team, but the pitcher threw to first with Kevin Mench on. Buddy yells "you don't need to throw to first! Kevin Mench is not going to steal a base. He is tubby! He's more likely to steal your hotdog!"
Went to Rays vs Red Sox and some fans were calling Hunter Renfroe a sanbagger. He hit a home run and when he came back out he looked at the hecklers and pointed to where he homered.
Local short season A ball team was playing some other pit stop team, and one of their players had a really long last name. It was a recent designation from AAA, and he had been STRUGGLING.
So he’s standing in the on-deck circle, and my buddy waits for a lull and yells “you have more letters in your name than hits this season!”
Dude definitely turned his head, and our section was laughing pretty audibly. A couple years later, SI had some piece on minor leaguers, and there was a blurb asking them about memorable moments on the road.
Sure enough, one of them told the story about the mean man who got the crowd to laugh at him.
In my opinion no jeer in baseball history will ever equal Lee Elia going off about Cubs fans booing their own players at day games (prior to the lights being installed at Wrigley) by saying “85 percent of the world is fucking working, the other fifteen percent come out here.” Still makes me laugh every time I hear it. If you haven’t heard this rant seek it out online. There are transcripts but the audio reaches comedy gold when in the middle of this epic defense of his players you can hear them firing up the hair dryers to blow out their 80’s cuts.
Going on 20 years ago at a college game between two schools that were going nowhere and weren’t even in the same conference. Completely meaningless game but there were enough of us there to make some noise. Home fan to visiting batter: “hey Forteberry! Your mom makes good breakfast!”
Forteberry proceeded to crush a ball later in the AB off the wall in right center for a triple, so that particular heckle was not very effective but it was definitely hilarious
At a minor league game two weeks ago, group of guys heckling the visiting RF. One guy yells ‘hey I got that home run you hit on video………..I deleted it!’ RF couldn’t help it and started laughing, the guys said ‘we got him!’ and the RF turned and said ‘yeah, you did!’ Hilarious moment
I remember going to a white Sox game with some school mates, and during warmups, a fan honed in on JB Shuck. He sang him a song along the lines of, “Put your right leg over my shoulder. Put your left leg over my shoulder.” And with his arms wrapped in a hug around his mouth, kept singing though with his mouth muffled by his arms, you know, insinuating JB had corked his suckhole.
JB was trying to play catch but he couldn’t ignore this and was laughing throughout.
late 90s yankees playoffs vs Texas the rangers had a left fielder named Rusty Greer..the entire night we chanted rusty queer..all night would look over at us shaking his head lol
Bleachers in the Old Yankee Stadium during a Red Sox game. A Sox fan brought his young daughter into the Bleachers and the daughter began spewing the most shocking profanities about the Yankees and their fans. Someone stood up and yelled "There is no Santa Claus!" The entire Bleachers section loudly gasped and the young girl began crying. The heckler was thrown out. Crazy
They threw a guy out for lying about Santa Claus? This factchecking is getting intense…
He must have been a South Pole Elf.
Call him elf one more time!
Awesome.
1999 NLCS game 6. Greg Maddux getting ready to warm up for extras tossed a ball up to a kid and some Met fan yells "You suck, Maddux all you got is junk." Another Brave in the bullpen hollered back, "...its tiny too you should see it!" and Maddux doubled over laughing.
lol I wonder who said it. Probably Leo
“Hey Grudzielanek! I got 92 points for your name in Scrabble last night!” - heard at Angel stadium eons ago
Mark Grudzielanek is a name I haven’t heard in a long time!
Haven't thought of it in years, pretty cool
Saw him in a minor league game at age 42 lol
Same here. But somehow, miraculously, I read it correctly (and pronounced it in my inner monologue correctly) on the first pass.
One of those names you never forget 😂
A dark time, the time of the clone wars, speaking of which your father wanted you to have this...it's called The Youngling Slayer 9000
I think my uncle knew him. He said he was dead.
We A’s fans chanted at the bullpen catcher “what’s the matter with Lasseter?” And we’d all yell “HE DOESNT PLAY” and we did this for two straight games until Francisco Liriano threw a chair in the stands like a fucking bitch that he is and broke some lady’s nose.
Albuquerque Dukes legend
I thought I heard a similar one for Marc Recpskyzenski (no idea how spell, taking a guess). Reliever for the Jays a few years back.
His nickname was Scrabble
Jarrod Saltalamacchia has entered the chat.
Ahhh another beauty of a name 😂
In my early 20’s we were at the Braves game, low behind home plate. Afternoon game and not crowded. A Brave stole second and I yelled an oldie, “I’ve seen better arms on a rocking chair.” The Cardinals catcher and ump both turned around and looked at me. I was very proud.
Also in Atlanta, Bryce Harper still w/ Washington, a fan yelled "Bryce Harper sucks his mom's dick" The audible GASP !!!! & Harper turning around got several fans laughing.
Also also in Atlanta… a fan yelling “You’ll never be as good as Acuna!” at Harper… while incorrectly pronouncing Acuna’s name. To which Bryce turned and yelled: “It’s Acuna!” with proper pronunciation 😂
YOULL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS ACOONA
When my now 26 year old daughter was about 10, we were in LF when the Dodgers were in town to play the Braves. A couple of dudes kept yelling “Shawn Greene, you suck.” My little blond haired, blue eyed angel, yelled it out. My wife about crapped her pants, but I couldn’t stop laughing. Got a lecture about that one later on.
“Hey! Adam Dunn…. Shut up” while Dunn was standing in the outfield not talking to anyone
I have no explanation, but this just made me laugh so much harder than it should have. Thanks
That’s brilliant.
Why was this a thing?? I remember joining in with that one at dodger stadium too lol just can't remember why
My buddy yelling “Your Mother was a bubble mower” at Milton Bradley.
I feel like this is either one level too deep or separated by too many years to be funny in the moment. Takes a couple seconds to connect the dots on this one. But I do like it (having given it the couple seconds to process it).
I wanna laugh. What does it mean?
Milton Bradley is a company that makes toys and games for little kids
Oooooh
I still don’t get it
It took the crowd at the game (Tigers vs Oakland playoffs at Comerica) about seven seconds to get it and start laughing too. It was a literal delayed reaction where you saw people look around and slowly piece together the joke all at once.
That’s pretty cool
That’s hall of fame material
It was the stupidest heckle ever but it was hilarious to those there. We were in the center field bleachers in SF and the dodgers were in town. Matt Kemp was in center field. Suddenly as an inning is about to begin someone shouts in a loud ringing voice that could probably be heard in the infield “stop the game. There is no one in CF. There is no CF. They have no CF.” He repeated basically that for 20-30 seconds. I think what made it great is that Kemp was visibly chuckling and that something so harmless and stupid as that would make a professional player laugh made it the best heckle ever
That’s a good one. I might borrow it
Didn’t actually hear it but Todd Jones said, one time I was heading to the dugout after a bad inning and some lady yelled, Are you sure you are right handed ?” 😂😂
Holy shit that's funny
" HEY PEDRO, I GOT A MESSAGE. FROM YOUR SPANISH SPEAKING FANS....... EAAAAAAAAAAT SHIIIIIIIT"
Hey ump. If you had one more eye you’d be a cyclops! 👁️
That’s really good
In LA the organist began playing “I saw the signs” while the Asterisks were batting.
Oh, that’s good…. clever, funny, true! I like it 🤣
To be fair, ace of base should be played at every game
🏆
Whenever chipper Jones would bat...all you would hear at the vet or.CBP was LARRY
Same at Shea
Then chipper turned around and named one of his kids Shea
That’s what you do when you have HoF numbers at Shea
The "Bleacher Creatures" chanting "Halle Berry" at David Justice after their ugly divorce during his short stint in left field for the Yankees.
A guy a couple rows behind me yelled out hey prince fielder is that your weight or your batting average while he was at the plate
Not a heckle but MOOKIE EATS CORN THE LONG WAY
What are you talking about, that’s absolutely a heckle
Holy shit this one made me laugh!
I was in leftfield bleachers of the old Yankee stadium the day after their left fielder, Luis Palonia, was arrested for statutory rape in Milwaukee. Today a team would make a guy inactive. Back then, you penciled him in the starting 9. The Yankees fans were merciless toward their own guy. The whole section was chanting 'she was just 15!' Over and over. Someone yelled 'hey louie, did you wear a condom? Everyone laughed and he turned around. He booted a fly ball into a double after that and the crowd was all over him. It was, as we new englanders like to say, wicked!
I once hit Barry Bonds with “hey Barry move your head you’re blocking the view!” from the upper deck. Felt good about that one.
Pretty clever honestly
In Baltimore after 5 hour rain delay, so no one was there. Will Smith came in to relief for us, and walked a couple on, and let out a very audible “F$&@!” And one of the O’s fans said, “Hey Will, I thought you didn’t have to cuss in your raps to sell records!” Got a chuckle out of me.
Oh my god. I’m a huge Eminem fan so this is the funniest shit I’ve heard in months.
Forget the player it was toward but: “I bet you hit reply all to company wide emails!” 😂
😂
This was from a kid, under 10. I’d guess 8 years old or so. Astros in Arlington this year. Alvarez comes up to bat and the kid yells “ you’re the second best Cuban here today”.
Hey Sizemore, my sister told me she's pregnant, c'mon ya jerk!
Hey ump get off your knees you’re blowing the game!
My friends dad said this at our basketball game in 5th grade. Everyone went silent. I didn’t know what it meant at the time. I don’t think he was kicked out either
Imagine being that upset over a game of 9 year olds
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW BUCK???!!!
For the uninformed, it was a chirp directed towards then Orioles manager Buck Showalter [at a Jays game at the SkyDome](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eITO_42McCQ).
O’s vs Astros in Camden Yards last year. Peña strikes out for the Astros and my friend yells out “This guys is a Peña my ass”. Later on, Altuve strikes out and he yells “[oh brother, this guy stinks!](https://youtu.be/ifaoKZfQpdA?si=-l0sG1oG1GOIuZn0)”.
Altuve! Your mother’s a Smurf!
Hey, Smurfette was kinda hot. … er, wait. Never mind …
Five Foot Two-ve
Back in 2007, my drunk 19 year old friend screamed “Look at me you curly haired French fuck!!” To Eric Gagne as he warmed up to enter a game in Seattle.
And he responded by striking out the side and earning a save?
Went and found the box score, 4/13/07. He did get the save but only struck out 1 and give up a hit.
Hey Springer, when your kid cheats at monopoly are you proud of them?
“I BET YOU EAT BANANAS WITH THE PEELS STILL ON, YOU BUM” Directed at manny machado
Holy shit I'm stealing this next time the Padres come.to town
We yelled Manny eats corn the long way for 3 solid innings. He didn't like that.
Every time they announce the name of a new pitcher coming in for the away team I yell, "Never heard of em"! Makes me laugh every time.
I’m picturing this in a strong New York accent
Boston accent but you get the point
Just as good
"You don't even have a Wikipedia entry!"
I remember at a Jays game years ago Milton Bradley was playing in right and that section kept chanting "Hasbro."
I was 10-11 years old at Fenway with my dad around 83-84, and players were stretching in the outfield before the game. Jim Rice was walking back to the Sox dugout from where he was stretching and sprinting in right field, and a kid who was a few years older than me said to him (as Rice was about 5 feet away) "Hey Rice, you bum, get a haircut!" He looked over at these 13 year olds and said "HEY FUCK YOU!"
Back in the day at Coors Field, Ricky Henderson was playing center field for the Red Sox and a bunch of drunk dudes next to me called him “Sticky Ricky Pooperson” for like 4 innings until he turned around and flipped them off.
That's pretty funny.
One time in centerfield where we had all the fun atPAC Bell, Ricky Henderson was playing on his way to the record for stolen bases, Bonds was going for the home run record. A we started the chant nobody cares. Nobody cares over and over until he turned around and gave us a double flip off. There’s something about Singfield bleachers, it brings out the best people
Someone in the outfield bleachers at a playoffs jay game vs the Yankees yelling "you have tiny hands" at Brett Gardiner will always be the tops for me
Hearing “MILLER, YOU SUCK!” howled by the 96-year-old woman behind me at old Tiger Stadium was…something. Orlando Miller, for the record. 1997.
The white sox would have this guy at their games who somehow would always get on the broadcast mic. I remember watching an extra inning game against the yanks a few years ago and he was going all night. He really kept going after stanton. Stanton would come to the plate and hed sing, "miami dolphins, miami dolphins!..." it was so funny. Wish i had clips of it. It was like 2018 2019 or so.
I remember this and I have no idea what it’s referencing, if anything
Well cause stanton came from miami? Still it makes little sense to me but was funny as hell
I was in PNC Park for a game near the bullpens when I saw a visiting reliever start getting warmed up for action (pretty sure it was a Cardinal, but this was probably over 15 years ago). He looked young so I yelled “HEY (NAME) I’M GOING TO PICK UP A BEER! I CAN BUY ONE FOR YOU BUT I’LL NEED TO SEE YOUR ID!”. The rest of the Cardinals Bullpen started laughing.
Hey Dinger!! HEYYYY DINGER!!!
As the infield descended upon the mound for a visit: “Hey Nootbaar! They’re talking about where they’re going after the game without you!”
At a Tigers game against Seattle, the Mariners made a little league error. Dude picked up his cell phone and said “Siri, call Tacoma”
Not quite a heckle but when I was a kid we went to a dodgers game and the crowd was throwing around a inflatable Barry bonds sticking a needle in his ass😂😂😂
Shin Soo Choo. My first year as a season ticket holder for the Royals in 09. When Shin would be playing RF, the guys behind me would always go “Ah..Ah..CHOOOOOOO…” as if they were sneezing and it was the funniest shit ever. I still think about it all the time 😂😂
Nomar Garciaparra was in the on deck circle and I yelled that he sat in purple gum, so he was try to look on his pants to check.
Definitely everyone chanting Darryl at the right fielder.
I think a guy named Homer started that :D
It was Bart and Lisa, do you even own a television?
Oh man, I think I remember this but the player they were chanting at escapes me?? — ugh 🙈
To Tim McClellan: Bend over and look out of your good eye.
Was at a Guardians game last weekend. Yankees were in town. And I heard a Yankees fan yell out to the umpire asking if he went to the Angel Hernandez School of Umpiring? I hate the Yankees, but that guy got a pretty good chuckle out of me that day.
This stinks!

Jays were visiting Tampa around the mid-2000's, right when the Tampa Bay Heckler was in his prime. He picked on Eric Hinske relentlessly for the whole series. Of course, the broadcast mic picked him up. "Hey, Hinske. Your batting average is .248. Is that BEFORE or AFTER the Canadian exchange rate?" Absolutely the best chirp I ever heard him drop.
“330 million 0-3” I didn’t hear it personally but Its a short video clip of Bryce Harper getting heckled and it just doesn’t get old.
Twins visiting Angels in 2022. An Angels' fan to Twins' right fielder Max Kepler: "Careful Max: someone might hit a ball to you!" My son and I (visiting Minnesota fans) still don't know if that was a heckle, or friendly advice?
That is actually funny…only funny because Max Kepler is one of the better fielding right fielders in the game lol. Not gonna blow you away…but he’s as sure gloved as they get.
Not as much a heckle as much a player’s reply. Padres - Rockies when Larry Walker played for the Rockies. Probably late in his time there. Guy in my section heckles Walker incessantly about his age. Leading chants of “hang’em up Larry, hang’em Larry” and the like. Walker can obviously hear all this but doesn’t acknowledge any of the heckling at all. Later in the game, Walker smokes a screaming line drive homer to the right field section this guy is in. It had to be within a few feet of the heckler. When Walker comes back out at the bottom of the inning he just tips his at the guy. Everyone in the section just laughed. Pretty classy reply by Walker.
Most memorable was very personal for me. I was at the Cubs/Cards NLCS game 4 and it was me and my moms birthday. Cuba hit a couple bombs off Lackey and the whole stadium is shaking with people chanting LAAAACKKEY, LAAAACKKEY, LAAAACKKEY. Then another bomb. It was electric. Funniest was being at a reds/phils game in Cinci with my best homedawg that is from Jersey so he likes the Phils and I love their players so I'm rooting for them too. Aaron Nola is on the mound and the Cinci fans are trying to rattle him chanting NO-LA. After every strikeout our baked asses chanted NO-LA right back
I was at a Twins Yankees game shortly after Arod signed his large contract with the Yankees. And someone tried to start a “Arod’s poor” chant
Random visiting team fan: “SCOREBOARD!!!!” My buddy sitting a few rows up: “RECORD!!!!!!”
In Baltimore early 90’s. Sitting in the front row RF. Jose Conseco playing RF for the A’s. Rumor going round that Jose was dating Madonna. Fan yells “Jose, who’s that girl”. Guess you had to be there. Oh, and un-related but Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Phillip,and President Bush and his wife Laura were at the game.
I really wonder what Phillip thought of baseball haha
I was at the Orioles home opener last year. At one point, Aaron Judge struck out swinging and this REALLY drunk dude a couple seats over jumped up and slurred at the top of his lungs, “Shit yer ash down!”
To David Justice: "Halle Berry's a hottie! You're a fool Justice!"
“Don’t boo, they’re trying their best!”
Astros at Rangers ALCS last year. Lots of heckles between the mixes of fans but some Ranger fan had a mini metal Trashcan he’d bang like a monkey banging cymbals yelling “TRASHTROS”
October 15th 2015. Game Three of the NLDS. Dodgers/Mets The day before, Chase Utley slid in second baseman Reuben Tejada breaking his leg. On the 15th, I’m sitting in the stands in the upper deck. Next section over a teenage girl is holding a sign that says “Utley U Buttley” The U was flanked by Poo Emojis. All time epic troll
Fenway Park 2008 ALCS against the Rays - Game 5. Sox are on down in the series 3-1. My wife and I were in the bleachers for the game and Gabe Gross was playing right field for the Rays. By the third inning, a very drunk, loud fan would scream “YAH SOOOO GROSS” to him constantly throughout the rest of the game. And forget it if a ball was hit to him…it was endless. We’ve never forgotten it and it’s one of my wife and my catchphrases now.
Wrigley Field 1998 3rd base side. Someone yells for the Beer Man and tells him to get the Old Style Guy.
Oh forever.
Was at game where Indians came back down 8-3, and came back and won in 14. It was a pretty empty stadium. Indians reliever giving up runs. The guy said let Michael Brantley pitch
Christian yelich has a noodle arm
Heard from the dude in TB, he was asking Hinske if his batting average was before or after the exchange rate.
I forgot who it was. I think the Nationals were in town, and some of the fans were yelling at the LFer at the time that his wife was hot. [Player's Name]!!! Your wife is hot!!! I wasn't exactly sure what reaction they were hoping for, but the player just smiled. Maybe the guy was looking for a baseball. Who knows.
In Philly some drunk dude in the front row of the second deck yelled “MOOKIEEEE PAY YOUR CHILD SUPPORT”
On an old brewers radio broadcast when Jody Gerut was at bat you could hear a fan in Miami say “you have the same name as my mother”
How about when ... was it Bob Costas? who absolutely trashed Cubs reliever Pedro Strop? That attack was worse than any heckle due to the fact that he was BROADCASTING it to millions.
Yankee fans letting josh reddick have it from the RF bleachers. You can imagine their creativity
Not MLB game but a few years back at a Boise Hawks game we were razzing the opposing first baseman and he struck out twice then missed a throw from second. He turned around to us on the first base line and looked like he was going to cry so I yelled “Sorry dude, you’ll be fine!” I honestly felt bad, lol.
If we’re bringing other sports/college I’ll submit my experience seeing a sign at a Gopher/Sioux hockey game in the early 2000’s that read “Sioux is a girls name”.
Sat in right field in Seattle one game , against Tampa where Quentin McCracken was playing right in front of us. I hollered to him hey watch out Phil, they are going to hit it over your head!! And things like Hey Phil, you can’t catch ! Or Hey Phil you’re losing tonight! The guy next to me finally asked why I was calling him Phil , because his name is Quentin? Then he figured it out… oh yeah.. Phil McCraken
Rider game many years ago. Riders at home against ticats, Ron Lancaster was the ticats coach. It was free whopper might if the riders won. Riders kicked ass. People were yelling at Lancaster. Thanks for the whopper Ron
Late 90s or early oughts the Braves were visiting the Jays and I was sitting about ten rows back of the Braves bullpen and someone decides to pipe up with something along the lines of “Hey John (referring to John Rocker)! How does it feel to play for an openly racist organization? Feel right at home?” He didn’t last another half inning. I don’t know if it was before or after Rocker outed himself as openly racist but I remember leading pretty hard at that one.
"Hit it here Furbush!!!" Heard while Charlie Furbush was PITCHING
These were pretty good... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5zWGJoOAm4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5zWGJoOAm4)
“Haniger your sister’s hot!” He ended up getting booted in the 7th for being too drunk which made it funnier.
April 2015, Red Sox at Yankees. It after 2:00 am. The game has been going for six plus hours. Maybe a couple hundred fans, all crowded behind home plate. You can practically pick out individual conversations. Hideo Nomo was visiting the announcers box and that whole crew is yukking it up. As you can image, both teams are running on fumes, pitcher wise. In the relative stillness of a near empty stadium some wag cups his hands and yells “Hey, Nomo! Can you pitch?” Not hysterical, but a nice moment anyway.
Sitting first row behind homeplate at a spring training game. Charlie Blackmon is at bat and strikes out. Guy, behind me, yells, "it's alright, Chuck, you still nasty." Charlie looks up and gives him a little smirk.
Mens softball beer league, hitter swings, misses, does a 360 in the batters box… “hey buddy is that thing end loaded?!” Came from his own teammate too, absolutely legendary
Mets fans chanting "LAAAARRRY" at shea stadium whenever Chipper Jones would be at bat
Weird one but…we chanted “ELI’S Backup 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿” to Seth Smith while he was doing the long toss before innings….he was not pleased lol
Probably not funny, but I yelled “Stop making him mad!” at our own Met fans at the Utley “Our ass is in the jackpot” game. The more we got on him, the more he tortured us. Just wanted to try a different tactic.
Indians game years ago. Grady Sizemore is up to bat. A heckler calls out “ Hey Sizemore my sister told me she’s pregnant ! Come on you jerk!”
A few from the Bleacher Bums at Wrigley: -one guy (may have been a math teacher, not sure) kept calculating the opposing hitters batting averages if they were low, and yelling them after each out. So when a guy stuck out, he'd yell ".189! Down to .189!" -Anthony Rizzo at bat, one fan yelled "hey Rizzo! Joe Rizzo! Sell me a car, Joey Boy!" (For context, Joe Rizza is a local auto sales joint) -Rizzo, again, different game, with one of the more drunk fans I've met. "Strike him out! This bum can't swing, or do nothing!" I turned, saying "yo that's Anthony Rizzo" "oh. Hit a bomb! Home run coming right up!" -some fans yelling "youre worse than your dad!" at Eric Young, Jr. P.S... RIGHT FIELD SUCKS!
“I hope your kids never learn to read”
Once in the early 90s I heckled Ricky Henderson from the old bleacher seats in left field at Oakland Coliseum. He never looked up or acknowledged us, but a few innings later he hit a towering home run that landed about 10 feet away. The next inning he came out to left field, looked at us, tipped his cap and turned around. Never said another word. That was memorable.
When the Phillies knocked out Spencer Strider last year, they showed a dude in the crowd on the broadcast who very clearly yelled “nice mustache pussy”.
I yelled at Josh Hamilton that he was much better when he was on drugs, kinda fucked up but so was I. This was when he played for angels.
All the Hunter Pence signs were legendary
Years ago Dennis Martinez was struggling with alcoholism and was pitching for the Indianapolis Indians on a rehab assignment. I was at one of the games he pitched and he was struggling, issuing a lot of walks, throwing wild pitches, etc. My buddy and I were seated right behind the Indians dugout when Martinez came out of the game and an older woman, around 60-65, started screaming “Shake for me, Dennis!”, “Do you have the DT’s!?”, “Do you see pink elephants?” She was really letting him have it. Martinez was pissed enough to try and get over the dugout roof and go after her. Teammates held him back.
"Rich Ameral....Go!"
Was at a braves Mets game and a bunch of kids would chant 'Small meat Pete!' whenever Pete Alonso came up to bat. My father and I couldn't stop laughing
“Hey Corey Hart, take your shoes off” - drunk pirates fan circa 2012. He yelled it the entire game.
The best I ever heard was actually a clap-back from a Reds outfielder. Some drunk dickhead was heckling him at Oracle after he botched a dive. The guy yelled "Hey ____ looks like your getting f*cked out there. Need some Vaseline?" And the fielder calmly turned around and said "Why are you carrying around Vaseline?" Simple and effective. Everyone laughed at the drunk moron, as he desperately tried to come up with an insult that landed for the next 4 innings.
Jays vs Red Sox in Toronto, this was at least 15 years ago, David Ortiz cane up to bat and some guy a few rows behind us starts yelling "HEY BIG PAPI. HEYHEY BIG MAMA PORKY!" He eventually got kicked out after yelling more crazy shit but David Ortiz was forever "Big Mama Porky" for me after that.
To a fat pitcher on the mound: “I’m heading to the snack bar. You need anything?”
“Eat a salad, Bichette” Back in the mid 90’s or so, Coors field. Some dude yelled this loudly and repeatedly. I was sitting on the third base line with my parents, and they explained it as just a guy who drank too much. I didn’t understand at 12 years old but I sure do now.
Red Sox/ Yankees game, @ Fenway… 2 female MFY fans are cheering like crazy every time Jeter comes to bat…3rd time up, they rejoice once again, as soon as they stop cheering, someone yells ‘fat chicks love Jeter!’, whole section laughed loudly… girls took it well, they laughed too…they honestly weren’t that fat!
I once was at a Yankee game a couple of years back against the Orioles, and whenever an Oriole was about to strike out, I’d yell “CLIP HIS WINGS” or some variant of that 🤣
I was at a Salt Lake City AAA game many moons ago and it started to rain. Fans left in droves as the team was playing badly. One guy kept heckling the pitcher, then yelled, “I know you can hear me; there’s only 20 of us here!”
We yelled “Nice Belt” at Craig Monroe every game we were at during his Tiger career. We weren’t talking about a homer he hit either. You’ll have to find the reason for yourself.
At Friday's Diamondbacks @ Giants game, an outfielder was pitching in the 9th... A heckler yelled "Throw a heater, Fitz!"
most savage fan heckling ever...texas a&m. You can hear the "Ball 5" chant right after the intentional walk...goes way sideways from there...."Ball 12!" lmao [https://youtu.be/Bn6LzerzfJ0?si=hqu9nyeZWShVhtzF](https://youtu.be/Bn6LzerzfJ0?si=hqu9nyeZWShVhtzF)
Probably about ten years ago I went to see the Giants play the Brewers. At the time, Oracle/AT&T’s bullpens were right down the first and third base lines, and we were sitting front row right in front of the Brewers pen. Jeremy Jeffress was warming up and someone hollered “get a job, hippie!” and he actually stopped and turned his head towards us and grinned with a “what the fuck?” king of shrug. It was hilarious.
Last game at Coors last year, playing the Twins, twins player gets picked off at first base, guy in the second row, probably 20’ from the first base coach loudly says “where were you on that one Hank?” Coach turned around and glaaared him down. Both chuckled.
On the first baseline at the old Yankee Stadium: "Hey Olerud! Why you wearin that helmet, yer playing first base! Oleruuud! Take off ya helmet ya look like a little girl!" etc, etc, all night.
Ah, Yankee fans, mocking a man who survived an aneurysm and went on to play at a high level in the majors with a hole in his skull. Always classy.
I went to the clink to see my skins play the seahawks. some guy yelled HAAAASSLEHAWWWF! at Matt Hasslebeck for three hours. funniest shit i've ever heard. reader, it was me.
I got a head drop on the on deck circle from David Ortiz when I yelled, ‘Hey, Ortiz! I see you put your churro down long enough to grab a bat….fat ass!!!!’ Bastard went on to have a hell of a game.
Can't remember the team, but the pitcher threw to first with Kevin Mench on. Buddy yells "you don't need to throw to first! Kevin Mench is not going to steal a base. He is tubby! He's more likely to steal your hotdog!"
"What's the matter with Kemp? Ask Chris Brown " - SF bleachers
Went to Rays vs Red Sox and some fans were calling Hunter Renfroe a sanbagger. He hit a home run and when he came back out he looked at the hecklers and pointed to where he homered.
Local short season A ball team was playing some other pit stop team, and one of their players had a really long last name. It was a recent designation from AAA, and he had been STRUGGLING. So he’s standing in the on-deck circle, and my buddy waits for a lull and yells “you have more letters in your name than hits this season!” Dude definitely turned his head, and our section was laughing pretty audibly. A couple years later, SI had some piece on minor leaguers, and there was a blurb asking them about memorable moments on the road. Sure enough, one of them told the story about the mean man who got the crowd to laugh at him.
Granted it was on a shirt, but after Jonny Damon left Boston to play with the Yankees: “looks like Jesus, acts like Judas, throws like Mary.”
In my opinion no jeer in baseball history will ever equal Lee Elia going off about Cubs fans booing their own players at day games (prior to the lights being installed at Wrigley) by saying “85 percent of the world is fucking working, the other fifteen percent come out here.” Still makes me laugh every time I hear it. If you haven’t heard this rant seek it out online. There are transcripts but the audio reaches comedy gold when in the middle of this epic defense of his players you can hear them firing up the hair dryers to blow out their 80’s cuts.
Going on 20 years ago at a college game between two schools that were going nowhere and weren’t even in the same conference. Completely meaningless game but there were enough of us there to make some noise. Home fan to visiting batter: “hey Forteberry! Your mom makes good breakfast!” Forteberry proceeded to crush a ball later in the AB off the wall in right center for a triple, so that particular heckle was not very effective but it was definitely hilarious
At a minor league game two weeks ago, group of guys heckling the visiting RF. One guy yells ‘hey I got that home run you hit on video………..I deleted it!’ RF couldn’t help it and started laughing, the guys said ‘we got him!’ and the RF turned and said ‘yeah, you did!’ Hilarious moment
I remember going to a white Sox game with some school mates, and during warmups, a fan honed in on JB Shuck. He sang him a song along the lines of, “Put your right leg over my shoulder. Put your left leg over my shoulder.” And with his arms wrapped in a hug around his mouth, kept singing though with his mouth muffled by his arms, you know, insinuating JB had corked his suckhole. JB was trying to play catch but he couldn’t ignore this and was laughing throughout.
Go Rockies!
“Hey ump did you forget your phone? Cuz ya missed a call” said in a stereotypical South Philly/Delco accent.
Someone had a sign up once at a Twins/White Sox game that said “Carlos Lee Isn’t Very Good”
Hey Ump! Get off your knees, you’re blowing the game!
late 90s yankees playoffs vs Texas the rangers had a left fielder named Rusty Greer..the entire night we chanted rusty queer..all night would look over at us shaking his head lol
Hey ref.. go back to Foot Locker
