Funny thing is...until I had my two little ones...I didn't understand. But now I do.

I'm a full on father now. LOL. I was that guy yelling at the game. But I would always respond to parents if they asked me to tone it down.


I have a great story about that a few years back at an Astros game...We were sitting in the field seats behind the vistors dugout and just killing the opposing team. We were using some choice language, mainly because of the 10 dollar beers flowing through our blood, and a family of 4 was sitting a couple rows behind us. The dad approached us and asked us nicely if we would'n't mind toning it down because he has kids. We did.

When he left he came buy and shook our hands and handed us a $100 bill and said the "post game party is on me, fellas"

lol, the difference between protection/hush money and appreciation.....
