Vernon Wells has fun with Heckling Fans
Posted by: Richie Rich in 2007 MLB, Blue Jays, Drunken Fans, Hecklers, News
Blue Jays CF Vernon Wells had a very unqiue way of handling some loudmouth hecklers while he was in Cleveland last week.
He heckled back – via a baseball.
This past Wednesday, a group of Cleveland Indian fans were tossing some lame-ass criticism towards Wells …
“You Suck!” “You like men”
How original. Randy Quaid did a better job of heckling Rick Vaughn in Major League II.
One of the Hecklers wanted Wells to give him a ball. Why he thought he’d get one is beyond me, but I suppose it never hurts to ask.
Wells gave him a ball. And even personalized it for the guy …
“Here’s your ball, now please tell me what gas station you work at so I can come and yell at you when you’re working. Please sit down, shut up and enjoy the game. From your favorite centre fielder, Vernon Wells.”
How long until the ball ends up on eBay?

How the heck did he write all that on a baseball?
Too bad there wasn’t a pic of that ball.
Vernon Wells is my new favourite CentreFielder.
I even used Canadian Spelling there.

Oh, but there IS a pic of the ball! I am that fan. And I have the ball. If you’d like a pic, just give me an email address and I’ll send it to you… You’ll see that he didnt use the “centre” spelling – that must be some Canadian’s clever, but false addition to the story.
To clear up “lame” comment, our heckling was superb. You cannot get that kind of response from something that didnt work. I can’t relay the chants via text for you to get same effect… But we have nothing to prove at this point. The ball is not for sale, so you wont see it on Ebay.
Vernon has a great sense of humor, and we commend him for it. In the mean time, the Blue Jays still suck.
GO TRIBE.

also, we never asked for a ball – he made the point of giving us one.
