I haven't made a game in person this year. Can you or anyone possibly summarize what the ball 5 guy does?

Ball 4 guy has been a fan for many years. I used to sit right in front of him in the old Box. You get used to his call outs real quick and enjoy it. He may seem new to some of you because he hasn't been to as many games this year, but as a season ticket holder for 33 years I know he's been a strong supporter from way back.

1 or 2 people have. And to the "good" fans that represents this entire awful, ignorant, entitled fan base that they hate yet still associate with.

Ball 4 guy has been doing that at the Box a really long time. I don't think he should keep yelling Ball 4 after the pitcher throws a strike on a 3-0 count to make it 3-1. Other than that I like it. I'd like to know what his record is for consecutive balls. I know I've heard him say Ball 7 before.

Why try to rip something another SEC school does and make it your "thing" at Alex Box.

We have guillot and the K Lady...now we get two more annoying attention seeking fools in clapper and ball 5 guy.
I've always held that these people infringe upon the expectations of well-meaning paid ticket holders to have an enjoyable experience. Like dogs barking at passers-by with their oblivious owners thinking they're cute. It's like the fat guy sitting next to you in the airplane. It's just not right. Those idiots can rant and rave in their living rooms all they want, but the minute they bring it to The Box, it's over the line. It's attention seeking in full public display, begging for the ultimate attention: being escorting from the game. All they're missing is the flame thrower and air horn. I'm sure they thought about it.

ETA: Upon entering The Box, let the fans vote on whether or not they think these over zealous idiots are ok/not ok and announce results before the first pitch. End of debate. Thank you and good night.

He's not the "ball 5" guy, he's the "ball 4" guy, and he's been doing for as long as I can remember. You can always hear him clearly on the radio. But he's not new at this and he's not copying Texas A&M.

What is the clapper's shtick?
He has the nerve to clap at a baseball game. Oh, the HORROR!!!

He sits behind homeplate and is visible when the center field camera is focused on home plate.

So basically he annoys people who sit on their couch at home watching the game while criticizing a fan who DOES go to the game.

I know people that sit in the general area of this fella and they hate him. A total distraction to the game. The guy doesn't even try to clap in rhythm with the rest of the ball park when they are encouraging a pitcher for the 3rd strike.

No you don't. You're just making shite up again. It's typical of you to complain about anything LSU baseball related even something that has no effect on you.

I've sat in the front row of the gold seats directly behind him and he was unnoticeable unless I made a point to try and focus on him. Even then his claps blended in with other fans noise.

Anyone who claims he upsets them is a lying attention whore or a snowflake.
