Sounds like Holliday was being a whiny little #$%&*
Pretty much! We sit by the visitor’s dugout, and as it all played out we couldn’t figure out what the issue was because all of Holliday’s rankings & ravings took place after Tech was in the dugout and OSU had taken the field. The Ump went to the Tech dugout to toss Beckel, so we really couldn’t figure out what was going on until after the game.
Josh Holliday story…back when Josh was playing for his dad at OSU, we sat on the first base side. Usually by the end of a weekend series we had become somewhat friendly with the opposing team’s first baseman. At one point, Josh as the catcher, started complaining to the ump about some slight/issue, and Tom barked from the dugout “Shut your mouth, Josh!”. Of course, “Shut your mouth, Josh!” became our mantra for the remainder of the series. At one point, a Tech fan heckled, “Hey Josh! Do you call him Coach or Daddy during a game?” And the OSU first baseman turned to our section, laughed and said, “It’s Daddy”. To this day Josh still gets all sorts of Daddy taunts when we play them.
