Not such a piece of cake

The Hagerstown Suns celebrated the 150Th anniversary of the ticket booth before last nights game against the Lexington Legends,Sadly they probably didn't need the ticket booth to get the 125 people in the door!This night started off shitty from the start,After walking through the gates,We decided to grab a piece of this "special anniversary"cake.Well that was shot down faster then the Suns record,Walked over to the"cake cutting area"Which was a card table they had served baked mac and cheese off of the day before.The woman,Teen,Whatever she was standing there cutting said cake says"would you like a piece of cake?No honey,I just thought I'd come over and ogle it alittle before I went any further.So of course i said yes, The next thing I know,She says to me"Do you have a cake ticket?When the hell did this turn into a bake off?Well of course I didn't have a "cake ticket"Her next response is the usual line of shit you get during a Hagerstown Suns game.Well you need a cake ticket,Wait,I just bought a ticket to walk in the door,And now you're telling me I must have a ticket to join in on the lovely celebration of ticket booth night?And god forbid any Suns employee actually helps you during a ballgame.So she squabbled with some doofus about the "cake ticket"thing,I finally said fuck this,No dessert is worth all this bullshit.So we headed down to get some cards signed things were going good, Talking to another collector while we waited for the teams to come out.Well the mistake we made was standing in "The suite area"I don't have the picture of this yet,But it is maybe 40x30 with no roof,Or anything a suite would look like.The next thing you know,A Suns employee(not sure of her name,but she is nothing but professional)Came over and said we had to move per orders of Herman Munster(not really his name,but damn sure looks like him)Let me get this straight,This clown sends his employees down to do his work?I could understand moving us if there were actually people there,But at this time I am not lying,May have been 30 people in the ENTIRE stadium!So after all this,I was starting to get pissed off,Anyone who has ever worked customer service knows you usually bend over backwards to help the customers,Not the Hagerstown Suns front office!Finally good old Herman strolled past,I was talking to him the entire time he was walking by,That's when i said "That's right ignore your customers when they have an issue"At this point i was about ready to walk out,But Shawn being the level headed one(Never thought I'd say that lol)Talked to Herman for a good 20 minutes.Of course Herman just kept spewing the same old shit we have heard a thousand times before.How's this for a change,You listen to your customers,Make them happy,They may actually come back?At this point we decided it was pointless to beat the dead horse,And the game was about to start anyways.Oh and there was a game by the way,The Suns beat the Legends 7-6 in 10 on a botched infield grounder,Of course to hear a Suns employee talk,They had to beat 12 guys.The 9 on field,Plus the 3? umpires.Ummmm,Here's a problem,If you "think"know so much about baseball,You would know it's 2 umpires,So you played against 11,Not 12!But it was not the umpires who committed 4 Lexington errors,Or at least 2 for Hagerstown that got this game into extra frames.Couple notes from the last 2 innings of this,Stephen King really needs to chill out alittle.A fair ball that King thought was foul sent the 3rd baseman on a tangent,That should have had him ejected,But he wasn't done there,After going for3rd on a play,He was tagged out,And was out by at least a couple steps..Well this is all Mr King needed after the previous inning,He went nuts again,But he was not alone in his anger,Darnell Coles was already ballistic at this point,Throwing his batting helmet towards the umpire,He was tossed,But the King ran towards the ump,And started screaming at him.How King did not get tossed for this i am shocked.The best part of the whole thing was when Coles,On his way to the showers,Left about 30 baseballs,And the bucket they used to reside in on the field.You have to respect Coles to stand up for his guys,Even though he'll receive at least a 3 game suspension.i just remembered Herman's name.. Director of Sales Drew Himsworth ..Have a great day HERMAN..I found this link,May not be ol Herman,But damn sure funny Aunt Dinah’s Duct Tape Diner - Still More Chatter
