Man bites dog . . . and player heckles fan

Man bites dog; player heckles fan

A few Cleveland Indians fans were enjoying a typical night at the ballpark (a couple of beers, a few dogs, one or two inappropriate comments to an opposing player), when one had the audacity to ask Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Vernon Wells for a ball.

"He said that [the Minnesota Twins'] Torii Hunter had given him a ball," Wells told the Toronto Sun.

Wells topped Hunter, when he came out the next inning and tossed the fan a personalized baseball that read, "Here's your ball, now please tell me what gas station you work at so I can come and yell at you when you're working. Please sit down, shut up and enjoy the game. From your favorite center fielder, Vernon Wells."

Chalk it up to going to the Wells once too often.
