Now, now, **Manduck**. The Fan Cam has its purposes. Shirtless trailer-trash guys don’t have to rush the field and attack first-base coaches in order to get on TV!

Don’t you love the way they cut away from the Fan Cam for a quarter of a second to show a pitch, then go right back to showing some obese little fuck smearing mustard on his face?  
Hate, hate HATE the Fan Cam!
