If they did that then they would have to get rid of the Miss State Cowbells!

That sounds quite rehearsed. I would love to read up on this abuse of power that threw the damn mascot out...the mascot. Calling bs. Where and when?

Maybe, but they discovered that it only bothers Ginny-Women, so they won't mess with him.

Ah, he isn't stopping. They did make him stop at the CWS a few years back.

They can’t but the whistler may be a case to change/expand the umpires authority. Invoke a disturbing the peace clause.

The Whistler… and when I say the Whistler I mean the one with gray slicked back hair and beaver teeth… is a bitch. But the main reason he’s a bitch is because if anyone tries to remove him or if any fan lays a hand on him he’ll call the cops and press charges and have you thrown in jail.

They could but I feel like someone/group of people giving him an arse whooping will have the same effect

I have never seen something as silly as whistling, trigger this many people. All he’s doing is whistling guys. The cowbells at MSU are a hell of a lot more annoying then the whistling. Every baseball game I go to, has someone whistling. I don’t know why people make such a big deal about it. Just block it out, it’s not that hard.

Pretty sure it was ESPN that had him removed from the CWS game. The guys doing the game and the network complained about him.

The SEC's about to commence their annual meetings in Destin. They can easily make a conference rule that allows the home team to eliminate noise making (natural or artificial) that may disturb the peaceful enjoyment of an SEC game experience.

That way the Whistler has to STFU at games away from Vandy's home field and MSU can keep their cowbell clanging at their home stadium.

Surround him with higher pitched whistles and aim all at him at once anytime he does it.

They can eject anyone from the ballpark but it’s not like he is breaking any rules. He is just whistling. It’s annoying as hell but it’s not an artificial noisemaker or anything profane so what do you expect them to do?

I don't know how the Vandy players put up with listening to all that damn whistling.


I read a story with quotes from players and Corbin a few years back saying that it was irritating for them as well. The whistler is an absolute douche that enjoys the spotlight.

I am wondering how many people the whistler files assault charges against this time.

For his own safety. One day he could end up getting shot or something. Dude really pisses some people off.
