That's what I'm talking about. Unless you focus on the guy, he's invisible.
I can't NOT notice it now, dammit!

If you've been on that row, ask the lawyers around you.

It doesn't ruin my experience or many others. I, like them, find it mildly annoying like a fly stuck inside your car. The friend who pointed it out wants to rip his hair out over it. If he could ignore it, he would.

One thing is clear though, this isn't this guy's way of cheering for the team. It isn't anything like that. It's the same as his waving last year. It's his "thing" that he feels like he has to do for his own piece of mind/satisfaction. Like the guy who wears the same shirt every Friday. Or the guy at home who has to sit in the same spot on the couch during every 2-strike count. It's his "quirk" that again, will only last this year. What's different is that his "quirk" is noticeable and annoying to lots of people. That's undeniable. But it's fine to call those people, including me, names (snowflakes). Doesn't hurt my feelings.

For a while, I thought he was doing it to mess with the opposing pitcher. Like fans behind the backboard trying to jinx a free throw shooter. That's what I thought he was doing with the wave thing last season. But now with the clapping, he does it when we're in the field too. I almost wish he'd go back to the wave. Even though it looks retarded, at least I'm able to ignore it for the most part. And it will never be as annoying as the Vandy Whistlers.

Then man up and say something to him. Tell him how much he annoys you. Or get your "lawyer" friends to talk to him. I'm sure he'll understand. And you'll be a Rant Hero!

From what I can tell from the game threads the guy is there for almost every home game cheering for the Tigers. GOOD FOR HIM!!! We need more fans like him!
