Today in Fake Stuff?: I’m Sure This Fan Was 19

Posted by Andrew Stoeten under Beer, Uncategorized on Apr 11, 2012

Important Update: Have a look at the weird logo on this kid’s hat. I’m calling Photoshopped and totally fake. Of course, not until @spiff21 pointed it out. But still… I’m thinking he’s right.

Possibly Not Fake Update the Second: After the jump!

Not that I’d ever want to do anything that might bring the hammer down on respectable adults consuming alcoholic beverages at the baseball game– and, seeing how the Jays tried to handle their fighting problem this week, I’m not sure that they wouldn’t be entirely in favour of some kind of pointless, ineffective, draconian measures that only really serve to punish the vast majority of fans who are responsible– but… um… I think you might want to check the ID on this kid who was spotted at the Home Opener, as pointed out by SportsGrid.
