Great moments in literature
This photo is floating around the interwebs. If it is in fact what it appears to be – a frame from the broadcast of the April 23 game against Toronto – then it’s a clever choice of moments.
This would have to be the pitch-out during Adam Lind’s at bat that nailed Rajai Davis trying to steal second. Thus the guy sitting in a $246 seat and reading a book is missing one of the most exciting plays of the entire game.
On the other hand, It’s the top of the ninth. The Royals came into the inning trailing, and on the plate appearance immediately before Lind, Davis hit a single that scored Brett Lowrie from third. With the home team showing every indication that they were once again going to roll over and play dead, perhaps this wealthy gent can be partially excused for assuming that a novel would be a better use of his time.
Still, if the game sucks that bad, take your ass home and read.
