True story. Google "sleeping baseball fan"

This guy feel asleep at a Yankees v Red Sox baseball game 3 months ago.

The TV cameras scanning the crowd latched onto him, and beamed his blissfully sleeping body pics to millions of viewers.

Now he wants $10,000,000 from ESPN, MTB TV and the Yankees for the embarrassment he's suffered.

Hopefully Judge Judy will be offered the gig.

Last time I went to a baseball game I got to see one of the foremost ball handlers of all time hit a home run. 


But then Michael Jordon was not known for his baseball skills. 



April 28, 1994: Before 11,034 at Joe Davis Stadium, the seventh largest crowd to see a Stars game, Michael Jordan has a two-out, two-run double to help propel Birmingham over the Stars.

I'm surprised not more people falling asleep during a baseball game, this must be the most boring sport ever and all the players seems to be on steroids. The average length of a game is about 3 hours and in some cases nothing at all happens during this time. The junk food served at the game normally taste OK but the beer is terrible as usual "over there".

Not sure about the most boring ever, watching Golf would probably be tops for me.  With NASCAR not far behind.

Unlike cricket. Cricket is a very exciting game in comparison. And it can last up to five DAYS! Good thing both the spectators and the players gets nights off to sleep and recuperate for the next exciting days play.

Cricket is mostly played in the Commonwealth of Nations and for me not a sport. This is probably only an excuse for having a beer, they call it Tea break.
