A Streaker’s Profound Message
We — those watching at home last night on television — didn’t see this clown while he was running around the field. We only heard about him, and his antics. But, as the Getty Image above shows us, he was no ordinary streaker. He was a streaker with a message: YOLO; You Only Live Once.
Now, I’ll be honest, I’ve never understood streaking. I don’t see the joy in removing one’s clothes, running around a baseball field, and then being tackled, and perhaps tazered, by the police. But, hey, that’s me; there are some things I’ll never understand. But he — the streaker — is right about one thing: we certainly do only live once. And if streaking almost naked across the Rogers Centre field with YOLO written on his chest was on that young man’s bucket list, it no longer is today, and I can respect that.
I’ve learned a valuable lesson from last night’s streaker: life is short. Too short. Who knows if we’ll be here tomorrow. Tackle your bucket list, friends. Because it won’t tackle itself. I’m going to buy that iPad after all. Probably today. Thank you, anonymous streaker. Your arrest wasn’t in vain.
One is technically not streaking in a bathing suit…..although I appreciate the decorum this young man showed for our eyes……
What the hell, I guess I’ll listen to Lance Berkman and give Freese a $200 million contract. After all, YOLO
is it just me, or has the toronto home crowd been unusually unruly thus far? streakers in both games, fistfights in the stands, and so on. their draconian beer regulations do not appear to be working
It’s always that way in the first few games. The reason the beer regulations don’t work is that beer is $10.75 so most people who do fight and streak probably pre-drink.
And sorry I missed the “reply” button and gave you a thumbs down :-(
I had a good view of the fight in the right field 100 level seats on Monday night. Who the fuck throws a $10.75 beer at someone else? Idiots.
I do.
Dude.
Shouldn’t the real question be ‘who the fuck pays $10.75 for a beer?’
Sometimes a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. I’m too old, and usually heading to the ballpark straight from work, to be getting completely shitfaced before the game, and I’m not bringing in a flask. Again, I’m too old to be booked by security, should it come to that. I’m paying what they’re charging. Such is my lot in life.
i think the greatest food toss in the history of baseball occcured at the 07 patriots day game when one dude tossed a slice of pepperoni pizza at the guy who dropped the ball.
of course, remy’s color on the play was equally brilliant.
No tv and no beer makes fans go crazy.
He wasn’t drunk
I think you’ve got the message wrong. This is clearly a shoutout to Dustin Pedroia and his hometown of Woodland, CA – the administrative seat of Yolo County.
I’m still buying myself an iPad.
Clearly, Buddhists do not streak.

This would be great with indifferent Mark Reynolds in it in lieu of the BoSox guy
This is my good friend Yannis! He wasn’t drunk..he’s 16 and he wanted to do something memorable instead of being one of the jerks who just sits on their computers an complains about people enjoying their life. YOLO my friends
I’m picking up my iPad after work. YOLO, indeed. Please thank Yannis for me.
Your friend is profoundly stupid
dude dont hate on Yannis. he’s just got more balls than most people
We can’t be sure, he refused to leave them open for examination like an honest streaker should.
