Softball fan stereotypes

[GIMNEPIWO]

Here's another one
"The Ball Magnet" This is the girl who no matter the count, the pitch, the weather, or where she stands in the box. ALWAYS GETS HIT!!!! Has more HBP than base hits.
Normally has the highest on base percentage but most coaches never notice...

MoeFoe ... we have eliminated this Fan Stereotype by not allowing any fans to stand in the batters box during the game ....

Ooops. Sorry GMP, I thought we were bashing everyone>

Okay ... lets ...

You all missed the Centerfold Daddy. He's the one working the moms, grandmas, and aunts in the crowd. The dads usually don't notice because they're watching the game or looking at a Centerfold Mommy.

And as a Newbiemom you are ripe for the pickin' ...

How about
"Broken Record Dad"

Idiot savant has one saying stuck in his head and will shout it from the stands 20-30 times until game ends or umpire ejects him. Usually has a partial understanding of a rule and wants to work that until it drops.

Favorite sayings are

"She's crow hopping!!"
"they're leaving early!!"
"they're out of the box!!"
"they're crowding the plate!!"

What about the Steath Mom/Dad who lurks in other teams' stands looking for gossip and anything else to spread around.

Also there is the "I wish she had looked in the mirrow before she left the house mom" who doesn't realize that her tattoos are not where they used to be.

'tattoos are not where they used to be"......gravity does stink sometimes.

You missed a few:

Disgruntled Older Brother/Sister: Sits in the stands away from parents and sulks; spends time fiddling with iPod and making numerous trips to the snack bar.

Hovercraft Mom: Attends all practices and games; sits behind dugout and harasses DD in-between innings; follows DD to bathroom; anxiously inquires about need for Advil after any perceived injury; eavesdrops and then comments on other parents' private conversations about their own DD's

Sleazy Dad: Makes off-color jokes and inappropriate comments about shape and size of girls on other teams; taps DD on butt after games; follows Centerfold Mom around like a dog in heat.

Forty-Something Grandma: Comes to games with multiple gold chains, bleached hair, and exposed cleavage; showers grand-DD with drinks, candy, and latest trinkets; chain smokes behind dugout; bad-mouths whichever coaches and parents are out of earshot.

Smiling Faces : these are the Parents that you tell how great your dd is and then goes to the next set of parents and tells them how awful your dd is. (normaly right after their own dd just made an error)

[3'sDad]

Picture Taking Dad - The father who has read enough of the above ideas and has determined to have something productive come out of the time spent at the softball field - and does not care to hear much of the team gossip. May or may not kow a thing about photography at the beginning.

Goes out and buys decent camera equipment; stays away from the gossip cliques; wanders intently about the complex during the entitre weekend event; takes loads of pictures and posts the best ones for the team to download and use.

Nominated for parent of the year by the coaching staff.
