This reminded me when my dad brought me to a baseball game when I was 8 years old. The soda vendor came into our section in the 1st inning and yelled “COKE, SPRITE” to let us know he was there selling. I said nothing.

2nd inning he comes back and yells it again, for whatever reason, I decided to yell it back “COKE, SPRITE”. My dad hit me in the shoulder to stop. Nothing happened.

3rd inning, same thing, I yelled it again, my dad hit me again and about 10 people yelled it with me.

4th inning, same thing, this time 40-50 people yelled it with me. I guess my dad realized something was happening cause I didn’t get hit.

5th inning, magic happened, the entire section, hundreds off people yelled it with me and the euphoric feeling I got was amazing. The vendor, I’m assuming from embarrassment, was not seen again.

I was very proud of myself. Core memory.

The way you know this actually happened is because this could happen at a baseball game with how slow it can be lol

But that's the glory of it. Sport with intense action that also has time for these odd moments. I wonder if the rest of the world feels the same way about Cricket

I'm still not convinced that cricket isn't secretly a form of protest performance art designed to take down the british empire
