Pizza hurling Sox fan had extra aggression on his pie

Everyone has gone to the ballpark with the hopes of catching a prized souvenir to proudly show off to your friends for the rest of your days. Brookline Sole had similar intentions when he took in Monday’s game between the Red Sox and Angels at Fenway, but what he didn’t expect was that his dreams would end with a slice of pie to his face.

As J.D. Drew’s foul pop-up sailed into the stands, Sole saw his moment to shine but ended up in a minor collision with Angels’ outfielder Garret Anderson as the ball of his dreams bounced away. If that’s not bad enough, Sole had pissed off another fan, Matt Madore, a few rows back and he decided that this would be the perfect time to exact his revenge on Sole by hurling a large slice of cheese pizza at him. Madore’s buddy, Danny Kelly gave some insight into the hilarious incident that got his friend ejected from the game. Turns out Sole had been poking fun at the fellas for bringing a large pizza to the game.

They had been giving us (expletive) about it,” Madore said. “Next thing I know, there’s a fly ball to left field and it goes foul and my buddy says, `You want some pizza now?’ And he hits him right in the face. Hey, the guy wasn’t paying attention. When you’re in the stands you’ve got to be ready for anything – a foul ball, a flying slice of pizza, everything.

The announcers’ reactions during the recap of the fiasco are absolutely priceless, and luckily for us they keep it up for a good two minutes.

this is hilarious — I love how the Pepsi Fan of the game is a guy gesturing for someone to come fight him. Boston fans! Worst in the entire world!

you’re allowed to bring a whole — wheel into Fenway from outside? Or did he pay $27.50 for it?

At least Boston fans don’t boo the Canadian anthem when their best players are canadian like they do in Pittsburgh.

oh by the way — Good Will Hunting sucked.  

And Tom Brady is stuck in the closet with Tom Cruise.

GWH and pizza — I am guessing the double Good Will Hunting/Tom Brady post is just a bait to get BostonMac to comment on this story, so I’ll leave those two near-blasphemous statements alone.

As for the pizza, you can head out on Yawkey Way during the game and prob get a full large pizza on the street and then come back into the ballpark with it.

Not surprisingly, I have a random connection to this story.  If you watch the replay, the guy sitting a row behind the one that got pelted with the pizza (the one who calms the guy down and later is laughing with him about the incident) is my friend Fowle from college.  

Fowle is a certified legend.  Somehow he shows up everywhere.  He’s like Superman.  I randomly bumped into him in a crowd of like 2,000 people in Faneuil Hall after the 2004 World Series game 4 win, and now he’s of course involved (peripherally) in this Boston Pizza Party.
