The Balfour Rage Fest Makes Me Wanna Be An A’s Fan
I’m sure asshole high horse Yankees fans and loser baseball purists will bash this, but I fucking love it. Its as close to a real life Rick Vaughn Wild Thing entrance as you can get. People headbanging, dudes in gorilla costumes, sumo wrestler masks. Pure mayhem. Whats even funnier is that as I was Googling this to see what its all about, everyone was saying shit like “A’s fans trying to entertain themselves since they’re clearly out of contention.” Fast forward a couple months and after erasing a 13 game lead and a 5 game lead with 9 to play, A’s fans are raging in the playoffs.
Anyway like I said, I’m sure some people will think this is corny but when the whole fucking stadium is doing it in the 9th during the playoffs the place is gonna be rockin. Its like Rivera’s Enter Sandman on steroids.
That is sick. Great fucking song too.
watched that game yesterday…. the fans all doing the bernie… going nuts. reminded me of 04, and how very far away we are from that feeling in fenway. oh well, i guess we’ll just settle for a super bowl appearance or deep run into the nba playoffs.
Yeah, let’s FUCKING RAGE!
this is golden
You want to see some serious intensity? Head to Fenway and witness the absolute mayhem that occurs in the middle of the 8th inning when they crank “Sweet Caroline” through the PA system. It’s an absolute bloodbath.
Love loud crowd atmosphere. That’s awesome.
Putting my money on the A’s in the playoffs.
that wasnt a gorilla at :16, it was just a black lady
Hey Tom, what’s with this WE shit, got a turd in your pocket? Everyone hates Boston and you should too.
I know I bashed Raiders fans but this is fucking incredible. There needs to be more of this across the nation.
dieHARD A’s fan and this shit is hysterical! i worked at that crap of a stadium for a couple years and the stream of fans that “flood” that place is pure comedy. its either octogenarians with tubes attached to them so they can climb to the cheap seats, or obama voters using stamps to get in the gate. either way, they all damn near shit themselves when things go our way.
coming in to metallica’s “one” with all that nuttiness going on, in that moment… one of the best entrances ever.
and balfour is legally insane.
go A’s
As a pissed off Met fan it kills me that we haven’t seen this type of intensity since God knows when.
PS- who knew there were that many white people in Oakland?
There’s no law against your becoming an A’s fan Clancy. Why live the rest of your life in misery?
I wish nothing more than this unproven fucker to blow a big save
