Look, I am all about accountability. That's why I don't mind a well placed boo at a sporting event. Sometimes it's just the easiest way to send the message that whatever is happening on the field of play is unacceptable. I just don't consider a ball lost in the lights that results in an extra base hit when you're up 6-0 in the 6th inning of the 18th game of the season all that unacceptable. I don't exactly know the back of Tyler Collins baseball card, but I do know he has no more than 20 at bats to this point in the season. He hasn't even played enough baseball for fans to be fed up with his performance. Raining a chorus of boos down on a part time player for making one mistake when your team is winning handily is like going to an Open Mic Night and throwing tomatoes. The punishment simply doesn't fit the crime.

So just like the player's need to be held accountability, the fans need to be held accountable too, and I can't think of a better way to let them know they are overreacting than by giving a nice panoramic middle finger to the entirety of the crowd. Put your hands over Little Johnny's eyes if you don't want him to see a gesture he probably already learned in school, but this situation could teach him a thing or two about appreciation. You want to know what he probably hasn't learned at home or in the classroom? How to be a gracious winner. That's a lesson he needed Tyler Collins to instill in him by reminding the Tigers faithful that shit happens over the course of a 162 game season. And as far as "shit" goes losing a ball in the lights during a win isn't all that bad, and as far as inappropriate body language giving thankless fans the birdy isn't all that disrespectful.
