Guess that's what happens to the losers of "So you think you can dance?",

Great - now he will be interviewed by all the stupid "coffee on the table" morning news shows.

Thanks (not).

Wow, how very impromptu and unique.

It's Texas, that's quite good. Remember this is the state where they think line-dancing is where Americans express their individuality.

It would have been better if he had stepped on the end of the broom and the handle had come up and hit him in the throat.

THAT would have been funny.

It's interesting the way the players completely ignored him. It's like they'd seen his shtick about 80 times already this year.

Oh, it was fun. You'd rather have the grounds crew come out and joylessly rake the clay?

s1ugg0: god forbid someone has a bit of fun at work, you sour farks.

Video is out of context, so I don't know, but did he actually USE the rake? Was he "having fun at work" or was he just dancing instead of working?

I don't know, I'm asking.

I don't care, I'm asking.

When I come to a sporting event, I don't want to watch some moronic attention whore make an ass of himself in the middle of the playing field.

That's the players' job.

Not a grounds crew member. This is a guy that goes around to all the ballparks and dances for a fee. There are hundreds of them.

This. That looked staged. I can tell from the dancing and from seeing quite a few paid minor league entertainers in my time.

r1niceboy: It's Texas, that's quite good. Remember this is the state where they think line-dancing is where Americans express their individuality.

On the contrary, even at its hey-day line dancing was discouraged in most Texas establishments. There may still be one or two songs thrown in specifically for that crowd, but if your not two-stepping, waltzing, or doing a polka....your in the way.

This.

You can tell because this guy is wearing the red Converse without socks! That's right, the uniform regulations for the Texas Rangers' groundskeepers stipulates black socks with this outfit.

Clicked the link, expecting to hate. It was alright. If he refuses interviews from all the cable networks, then I will really like him.

Whatever you enjoy is stupid, you should feel bad for enjoying it and I should be applauded for pointing it out.

Having fun is bad. It's much better to cross your arms, sigh, roll your eyes and hate everything. Smiling causes wrinkles anyway.

That was my first thought as well. Oh well, he seemed to have fun.

I can't argue with you. I watched half an inning last night. I just can't explain to my cousin who goes to most every cardinals game, I'd rather watch / do anything else. however, stating that, as long as my cousin is buying the tickets and beer, I'll enjoy it as much as I can.

~~Simpsons~~ Ray's already did it.

I don't know when they did it but this guy posed as a security guard and groundskeeper for the team and did the same kind of thing.

Grounds crew at Yankee Stadium does the YMCA.

Or at least did.

A guy might get away with that during a regular game maybe on a slow day. If he's doing it during the world series... it's staged. He'd be fired otherwise

As superstitious as baseball is, I doubt they'd want to risk it, right?

/guessing it's staged.
