Maybe I’m easily amused, but this reeks of coolness. It’s an interactive hi-def pan & zoom image of Yankee Stadium during the Yankees vs. Red Sox game of 4 July 2008.  (Boston won 6-4 on a freak triple, but that’s beside the point.)

When I found the link, the first thing I thought of was “There has to be at least one obnoxious dork in the crowd.”  The odds were definitely in my favor.

Game is underway, 1st Inning.

An obnoxious jerk can be found anywhere, and I guessed that the cheap seats would be a good bet.

This section looked promising.  Completely arbitrary guess.

Getting closer!  Stadium usher in the aisle is eyeballing someone…

Ooh!  We have a candidate, and it’s not the waterbed in the back row or the wannabe in the front.

WHOOP! DEY HE IS!
Rock out dude! Everyone should be playing air guitar at a Yankees game!  Or are you yelling at the umpire already, as if he can hear you from a quarter-mile away?  DUDE, it’s only the first inning.  Chill.

Although that game was played years ago, NY Dude has been preserved in HiDef for all to see. As always the bases are loaded (as are some commenters) here on The Overnight Open Thread.
