The Bleacher Bums Enjoy Hamilton’s 28

These words and the subsequent video cannot fully describe the scene at Yankeee Stadium last night during the Derby. Specifically, during Josh Hamiton’s incredible 28-home-run first round. Nothing before or after that really mattered -- that round was the highlight of the night, and quite possibly of the week.

Other chants overheard from the bleachers aside from the “a--hole,” “ham-il-ton,” “we want 30” and “holy s---”: “Joe Morgan sucks,” “FOX, FOX, FOX,” “Boston sucks,” “We want Jason” (as Longoria was struggling), and “She’s a tease” at a female cop. This, of course, was after they had just chanted “get her number” to the male cop standing next to her.

↵Even after being there to see and hear all this, the biggest advantage of being at the Derby in person remains this: You don’t have to hear Chris Berman.
