High school baseball’s supposed to be fun, right? I mean, how many of us remember spitting sunflower seeds while shooting the shit with our teammates in the dugout between innings, and literally just feeling happy by the smell of dirt and leather out on the diamond? Personally, it was one of the best times of my life.
Unfortunately, there’s always some jackass who has to ruin it. Whether that’s an aggressive parent who feels it necessary to treat a game like it’s Game 7 of the World Series, or a dumbass kid who can’t help but treat pitching like target practice on opposing batters, sometimes, the innocence is lost at high school baseball games.
The most recent example is pretty hilarious, though, because, during a game between two Indiana high school baseball teams, some dude could be heard absolutely obliterating an ex-girlfriend of his, going on a NSFW rant about her cheating on him. Take a look at the video below — just make sure your speakers at work or phone are turned down a little bit, because it’s pretty nasty.
You got to love what our mics picked up at the baseball game today from a belligerent person that came into Bosse Field. Sometimes you just need a baseball bat. I think this is what you were looking for @RyanReynolds pic.twitter.com/z686FxOQpA

After his little diarrhea of the mouth from the press box, other people who heard the TMI rant immediately tried to get his ass to leave, with one woman blatantly just calling him out by saying the obvious: “We don’t talk like that in here.” Here’s to hoping the guy took the advice and ended up leaving — and finds someone new, because that cheating gal’s gone, man, so let it go.
Ironically enough, this reminds me of a time in college when my roommate was the announcer for the men’s soccer team and, during a game, accidentally said, “Get up on your feet, fans, because he just got kicked in the balls,” as one of the player’s lay on the turf helpless after his nuts got pummeled by a soccer ball. Unbeknownst to everyone in the press box, the stadium mic was on, everyone in the stands turned around, we all got red in the face and, sadly, by college roommate was no longer making $15 per game as the announcer for the men’s soccer team. But there’s no denying it was pretty F’in funny.
Anyway, let these two incidents serve as a reminder that, somewhere, there’s always someone listening.
