This Little Kid Who Threw Out A First Pitch At The Brewers Game Is A Badass, Deserves A Bid
13 years ago

This past Sunday at Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers (minus Ryan Braun), the organization hosted their annual family day. I’m not really sure what that entailed since most Sunday afternoon games are a family affair anyway. Maybe that meant the Brewers management asked the notoriously drunken Brewers fans to limit themselves to five Miller Lites and keep the environment a little more family friendly? Seems unlikely that anyone could keep a Wisconsiner from guzzling less than 5.5 Miller Lites in a single sitting.

Wife: (holding a small child) Honey, will you please just cool it? This is supposed to be a family day.

(*Husband finishes of his seventh Miller Lite*)

Husband: (extremely drunk) Oh what? I’m not part of this family? I can’t enjoy this day? It’s family day! I’m IN the family, so let me have fun and shut up! LET’S GO BRAUNIE! Where the fuck’s Braun?

Wife: (annoyed) He was suspended for using PEDs.

Husband: I didn’t know they had SportsCenter on Lifetime HAAAAAAAAAAAA! Is it Packer season yet?

Wife: This is what I deserve for getting knocked up in a port-a-potty at Octoberfest.

Whatever happened in the shitshow crowd aside, players and coaches were encouraged to bring their families, as well. As it happens, Brewers coach Johnny Narron invited his grandson to the ballpark, and the little guy (he can’t be older than 4) was given the honor of throwing out the first pitch. Unfortunately for the precocious tyke, Grandpa and his mom decided to condescendingly insist he throw from the grass in front of home plate instead of the mound. He wasn’t having it. He has dignity dammit! This is what happened.

Somebody in Madison reserve this kid a bid. Well done, sir. Plus, he out threw Carly Rae Jepsen, so there’s that.

    Already done, Bacon. Went and visited this little tyke today at Gymboree. Gave him the bid.

    To clarify and in case anyone is curious, here is the low down on family day…. First of all, I can see your confusion when it comes to how the fans come into play, and they actually don’t. Family day has nothing to do with the fans. It is just a day for players and coaches to bring their families to the ballpark and hang out usually before, sometimes after, the game. Activities usually include a whiffle ball game, face painting, snacks, and other things you would typically find at a young kid’s birthday party or something, since most of the kids are pretty young. A lot of teams have it on or around Fathers’ Day, since the players and coaches can’t be at home to actually celebrate. Just if anyone is wondering!
