Fan of the Week :: Maybe He Just *Really* Likes Chris Sabo
Posted by Matt Sebek, July 24, 2008
In a follow up to this morning's release of Tom Henke's latest recruits - we present a very special Thursday Fan of the Week.

Honestly, our committee of fan hunters is baffled by this special human being.  We always love witnessing grown men wearing equipment in the stands - baseball gloves, Oakley blades, or even full uniforms.

But fans wearing Rec Specs is something new to us.

A fan wearing one pair of Rec Specs could have easily been written off as an unfortunate incident.  Heck, he may have accidentally broke his spectacles prior to the game - so he reached in the old gym bag to grab the only pair of prescription eyeglasses laying around the house.

No big deal, right?

But two pairs of Rec Specs?  A regular pair, and one pair of shaded 'Specs.  This is on deliberate.

Maybe he just really likes Chris Sabo.  We don't know.  One thing we do know is that stadium brass can feel secure knowing that this individual won't be pressing any charges - should he get plunked with a bag of peanuts purchased from a stadium vendor.

The ones around my neck are the prototype for the Sunglass Rec Spec's. Im clearly on the cutting edge here fellas.

Maybe there are multiple brands of the actual glasses...but "Rec Specs" clearly is the industry leader in the thick bands.

Question: are there multiple brands of "rec specs"? Seems to me that "Rec Specs" has a monopoly, because it's the only brand I've ever seen. That doesn't seem fair. Then again, neither is being too blind to wear contacts in 2008.

Several things could be going on here...1) Maybe he's just prepared. You know, in case he gets the call to start warming up in the bullpen. 2) He's going spelunking after the game. 3) It's reassuring to know that when he makes a fool of himself bowling over 6 year old kids to get a foul ball souvenir off the bat of Cesar Izturis...he's specs will be securing fastened to his skull. And if, by chance, one of those little pi$$ants rip them off in retaliation, he's got his spare specs ready for action.

He is clearly a believer in the "safety first" theory.

That was me. Time has not been kind to me.

I think this gentleman is a perfect example of why it's about damn time that someone come out with some Rec Specs with those lenses that turn dark when you get into the sunlight. That or he just thinks Rec Specs make great neck jewelry too.

Hmm, that might actually BE Chris Sabo. Haven't seen him in some time.

Tim Foli

A slave to superstition, even after earning a job as a Major League third basemen, Tim Foli refused to take the field with anything other than the plastic glove he first debuted in a 1958 Little League game.
