There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sub-professional baseball teams using gimmicks to sell tickets. If giving away a hilarious pair of boxer shorts on the night of an equally hysterical competition will help fill the stands we’re all for it. If you have to shoot a guy out of a cannon to create a buzz then so be it. However, an annoying short man dressed as a monkey dancing around crosses the line. That’s why I really have no problem with the follow clip. Check out the video of the Nashua Silver Knights’ “monkey boy” getting laid out, courtesy of YouTube user Humbera:
Maybe the hit was a little excessive, but you have to know to keep your head on a swivel if you’re going to do something that obnoxious. If you can’t stand the heat stay out of the kitchen. Mess with the bull get the horns. Add any other “he asked for it” cliches you want, but I don’t feel sorry for this character no matter how you look at it.
