Shirt Thing

I was at a baseball game recently when those girls come out between innings and throw tee shirts into the crowd. Most of us think that’s a pretty easy gig – throwing tee shirts. Who can’t do that? Well, it’s not as easy as it looks. At this game, they were tossing Great Clips tee shirts into the crowd. Sure enough, she threw one to a guy with no hair.  He of course didn’t know what the shirt was going to say. Boy was he disappointed when he unfolded it. The place got really quiet. It put a damper on the evening…

Then there’s the size issue. Have you ever noticed how careful they are when they throw the shirts? They know what size they have and they have to look for somebody that size to throw to. It’s like being a quarterback but a quarterback only has maybe four receivers to decide between.  I caught a shirt once, and, you guessed it, it still fits me to this day.

Come to think of it, at football games, would it kill them to have the quarterback throw the shirts into the crowd? Is that asking too much?
