With the All-Star game coming up next week, the 2011 MLB season is just about halfway done. Yeah, there have been a share of badass plays but we think it's time to give the fans some shine. And by shine we mean relive their most embarrassing moments of the season thus far. Fails like a dad dropping his daughter to get a game ball, a grown woman snatching a ball from little girl, and a drunk fan getting speared by a security guard that should be in the NFL. So, as you enjoy one of the few major pro sports still active right now (thanks, Goodell and Stern), check out the Biggest MLB Fan Fails of 2011 (So Far)...
Yankees Fan Caught Slippin'
DATE: 4/3/2011
GAME: Detroit Tigers @ New York Yankees
COMPLEX SAYS: One pet peeve of any baseball fan is seeing a fellow supporter of your team sleeping during the game. The MLB isn't the most exciting major pro sport, but damn homie, you most likely paid $90 for that section 213 seat at Yankee Stadium. Those fans seemed pretty entertained, though. Cup stacking >>> MLB regular season action? Really?
Cubs Fan's Home Run Toss Back Fail
DATE: 4/23/2011
GAME: Los Angeles Dodgers @ Chicago Cubs
COMPLEX SAYS: When it comes to throwing back the home run balls of the opposing team, some dudes are really good and other people just need to accept the souvenir, i.e. Mr. Party Foul in this clip. Damn, the Cubbies stay losing...
Grown Woman Snatches Ball From Little Girl
DATE: May 2011
GAME: Arizona Diamondbacks @ Houston Astros
COMPLEX SAYS: Wu-Tang is for the children and this greedy bitch is all about being for herself. Snagging a game-used ball is cool and all, but is it really worth ruining a little kid's day? Besides, eBay has 'em for cheap.
Red Sox Fan Gets Trucked
DATE: 5/2/2011
GAME: Anaheim Angels @ Boston Red Sox
COMPLEX SAYS: Drunk fans x security = epic moments. There was the Phillies fan from last year who got tased, this beast of a Pirates fan who was seemingly unaffected as cops tased and beat him with a billy club (fuck the police, btw), and this Sox fan who gets absolutely destroyed by a security guard at Fenway Park. If the NFL lockout continues, this gig could help NFL defensive players keep those brutal hits on point throughout the start of fall.
Lonely Reds Fan
DATE: 5/13/2011
GAME: St. Louis Cardinals @ Cincinnati Reds
COMPLEX SAYS: This "Forever Alone" Reds fan either attended this game dolo or his friends ditched him after they realized his drunken antics would most likely go viral. We're all for making new friends and having a good time but keep your pants on, fam. This a family event, not Chippendales.
White Sox Fan Does a Face Plant
DATE: 5/19/2011
GAME: Cleveland Indians @ Chicago White Sox
COMPLEX SAYS: One White Sox fan was feeling himself a bit too much and got a rude reminder of why he's in the stands and not on the field. A for effort. F for FAIL.
Dad Drops Daughter For Ball
DATE: 5/28/2011
GAME: Florida Marlins @ Los Angeles Dodgers
COMPLEX SAYS: So, this Dodger fan uses his daughter as part of a ploy to get one of the game balls, then drops her, AND in the end he doesn't even catch the ball. SMH, somebody call child protective services.
Drunk A's Fan Takes a Seat
DATE: Unknown 2011
GAME: Unknown @ Oakland Athletics
COMPLEX SAYS: If you're a fan of one of the league's worst teams and your squad also calls one of the most atrocious stadiums in the MLB home, there's only one thing to do at games: Get hammered! Usually we'd tell belligerent alchies to go sit down somewhere but homie can't even get that right. C'mon, son!
Dude Wrestles Ball Away From Lady
DATE: 6/16/2011
GAME: San Francisco Giants @ Arizona Diamondbacks
COMPLEX SAYS: We're still unsure of all the circumstances surrounding this video, but on the surface it definitely seems like the ultimate douchebag move. Someone needs to get an estimate on the value of the Rawlings MLB joints. An estimated 60 are used per game, so no worries eager fans, there's plenty of balls go to around. Pause.
Joe Mauer Jersey Made From Back Hair
DATE: 6/25/2011
GAME: Minnesota Twins @ Milwaukee Brewers
COMPLEX SAYS: This revolting image poses so many questions: 1. Who thinks of shit like this? 2. Who shaved this dude's back? 3. How'd he get into the stadium like this? 4. Does he know that Mauer is having one of his worst statistical seasons of his career? 5. Will the back hair jersey trend catch on?!
