Blue Jays Fan Guide to Ballpark Personalities

As any diehard fan of any sports team can attest, there are always those handful of fans who go to the park each game, sit in the same spot, and/or have some defining characteristic about them. Whether "Big Dog" at Browns Stadium, Mrs. Dooley at Fenway Park, or "The Heckler" at Tropicana Field, Rogers Centre is by no means, different. This is the first of a series, which will span over the next few days.

1. Clock Lady. Some folk have written about her already but here's my view. She's older, but not too old. Her defining piece of clothing is her "baseball clock hat" that she wears on her head. This sweat layered piece must have been from some 1977 ballpark giveaway and has been dubbed by others to be her "time for medication!" hat. Her major problem with the Jays is that the music is so loud the players can't talk to each other, and wants everyone to know that "I don't yell at the players, I yell to them!". Right. She can be seen at the bottom of section 127 by the dugout during batting practice and sits in the same seats she's had since 1989 in the front row of 129.
