Padres fan watches game on stilts (VIDEO)

Sorry Padres fans, that wasn't Randy Johnson you saw wandering around Petco Park the other day looking to make a comeback. It was just some fan who found one way to make sure he didn't get an obstructed view at the ballpark. The acrobatic dude used stilts to walk around the outfield grass during the Rockies-Padres game.

Or maybe the circus is in town.

Fan brings own Barcalounger chair to stands at Petco Field (VIDEO)

In what has to be the most inventive example of mixing business with pleasure, this fan brought what looks like a pleather Barcalounger® and his own desk to Petco Field Saturday night. The mellow looking dude took in the Rockies-Padres game while lounging in the cushy chair in the comfort of the empty stands.

Portable man-cave or travelling office? Only this innovative guy knows. But, if he was playing hooky, at least he wouldn't be lying if he told his boss I was at the office.

Well, sort of.

'Squirrel Man' beats human in Petco Field race and rallies Padres over Giants

A man who is being called the "World's Fastest Squirrel" showed up at Petco Field Saturday night and, besides out-sprinting a man who he had given a giant head start, rallied the San Diego Padres to a win over the San Francisco Giants. After the squirrel's 4th inning race, the Padres scored six runs to take a 6-5 lead they wouldn't relinquish.

The man in the gray costume with a big padded tail — only being identified as an NCAA national sprint champion — is now getting called everything  from "The Rally Squirrel" to just plain "Squirrel Man."

By any name, the giant tree rat delighted the crowd during the fan promotion.


Squirrel Man may be good at chasing down nutty fans but how well can he climb trees or walk across telephone lines?

Foul ball lands in fan's beer which he proudly chugs down

A guy sitting in the stands at Petco Park had a foul ball land in his cup of beer and— after showing off his beer-soaked trophy— promptly chugged down the rest of the brew with the ball still in it.

At nine dollars a beer, who doesn't mind a little spit and dirt in their brewski if it means getting a foul ball on the side.


The fan— wearing a vintage San Diego Padres jersey— seemed to like the spotlight and, with half-a-dozen iPhones pointed at him, honored everyone by downing it.

Way to go San Diego.
