This Pirates fan was quite displeased with a call on Tuesday night

Some might say that Opening Week is a time to simply enjoy the return of baseball, to take in and devour all of the new food offerings, to not worry about wins and losses so early in the season.
But, no.
When your team is playing against a divison rival such as the Cardinals and a call doesn't go your way when the game's tied in the ninth inning, it's time to get down to business. It's time to react. It's time to get angry.

This gentleman was reacting to a close 2-1 pitch to Matt Carpenter that was called a ball. Carpenter flied out later in the at-bat and, eventually, the Pirates won on a walk-off single in the 11th.

Is it because of that man's passion and will for his team to win? We'll never know for sure, but yes, probably.
