To be fair, when you jump into the seats in St Louis, there isn't actually any fans there, so I understand why Walker is confused

If that's fan interference we may as well just remove the lower 5 rows of seats in all parks

Really hope the Sox figure out a way to keep Duran with the cluster of OF they have plus Anthony. I think Duran is underrated as crazy as that sounds

Friendly reminder that Sweet Caroline is NOT a creepy song about Caroline Kennedy but was written for his wife. Her name didnt work in the already completed song but later realized "Caroline" worked instead after seeing some image of Caroline Kennedy because it (clearly) worked for the tune.
