Strangest Things You've seen at Petco Park

Pot smoking Giants fan in the Men’s room.

Pot smoking Giants fan (different game) in my section who attracted the attention of the Giants fan in front of me who made a beeline to join him while his friend told them both how bad smoking pot is.

The whole Milton Bradley thing, right after the Cameron injury while still trying to get over a Chargers loss.
Red Sox fans in different section so drunk they could barely stand up (this is now permanently embedded in my mind as the typical Red Sox fan – too dunk to notice the game).

Pirates fan yelling at the top of his lungs for his team from the 8th inning on in a game where we were just killing them.

One of the first Fireworks shows after a few of the new high rises were built. It was during April with heavy all the heavy marine air and the stadium almost completely filled up with smoke.

1. KGB fireworks game back in 2002 or 2003. They had the mortar-style fireworks that only shoot those gold streamers all around the infield. Apparently, the one near where the second baseman plays had been knocked over and no one noticed, so when it went off the streamer shot directly into the crowd in plaza down the firstbase line. That was pretty scary/crazy.

2. At a Cubs game, there was this Cubs fan that looked just like Fredo sitting in front of us and he’d turn around and say “Cubs win!” in his best Harry Caray voice at random times 5 or 6 times an inning. I’m not sure who he was saying it to but it must have been to other Cubs fans in general. He did this for the first several innings. Then he started moving to other seats between the dugouts. Every time a ball would be fouled back into the stands around the plate, we’d look and sure enough Fredo would be right there. He was a total foul ball magnet. He’d look back to our section and say “Cubs win!” This must’ve happened at least 3 or 4 times. It reminded me of Rob Schneider showing up in every Adam Sandler movie to say “You can do it!”

pray that you are not in the pisser when a drill sergeant comes in with a couple cadets. he screamed at them to hurry up and finish, etc. gave me performance anxiety.

it was a low point in my life.

There was this time during an extra innings day game a little while back when a group of high school kids were obviously getting drunk off of smuggled popov. One guy gets a little too tipsy and in addition to the hot summer sun, passes out.

His friends found it hilarious and proceeded to pick up random trash left behind and stack it on top of their passed out friend. After the 9th most of the crowd in the section left as well as his friends. The image of this 17 year old kid covered in trash, passed out alone still makes me giggle.

that guy is just huge

We’ve all seen guys adjust themselves in the field, but apparently one night in 2007, the ouside-the-pants adjustment just wasn’t good enough for Shane. Between innings he had belt undone, pants unzipped, hand down there, taking care of business. My seats were right next to him, above the visitors bullpen. I didn’t notice at first, but my attention was drawn by someone shouting something to the effect of “Hey Shane, there are kids here, don’t do that!” I looked to where they were pointing and couldn’t believe me eyes. At least he didn’t pull a Steve Lyons and drop trou.

Never see those

I was on the press level of qualcomm at a game sometime around 2002 and had to use the bathroom. i walked in and right in the middle of the line of urinals was a guy who had pulled his pants and underwear to the ground so his ass was showing to the entire bathroom. After he finished up and pulled his pants up he went to wash his and and it turns out that crazy old man was former Padres announcer Bob Chandler.

the 21st inning stretch last season against Colorado.

Strangest Things You’ve Seen at TheGrandHatching’s House.

A Padres fan in the LF bleachers gave me hell in 2005 for wearing a blue Steve Busby Kansas City Royals shirt. The Royals were NOT playing the Pads.

Two streakers in the outfield, circa 2006. I think Dex was there that night as well.

Happened during the 90s. I think everybody was familiar with that blonde since she has done it before.

Also, when Milton Bradley injured his leg during his famous arguement against the ump. No one had touched him and he looked as if he were hit by sniper fire. At the time, I thought he was faking it.

I saw Marcia Brady, um……. I mean Maureen McCormick, one night at Qualcomm Stadium.

Oh…….and I saw Lupus from “The Bad News Bears” run the hot dog race at Qualcomm one year.

actually where i first saw the GLB t shirts…not sure which two of you i was standing next two but you guys wrote about it somewhere. That guy was super excited to see Jane.
