Gossip about Roy Oswalt’s weekend visit to Atlanta:
My cousin and I got into Atlanta late Friday night to catch the Saturday and Sunday Braves games vs. the Phils. We headed to a pub near our hotel where we caught a bite to eat and ran into a few fellow Braves fans in town from Canada. We had a few drinks and then, upon the recommendation of one of the bartenders, caught a cab out to the Pink Pony strip club.
A few cocktails and lap dances later, one of the Canadians honed in on a short, well-dressed dude sitting with three or four ladies at an adjacent table. After studying him carefully he turned to us and said, “Guys, I think that’s Roy fucking Oswalt.” We all studied him from across the dimly lit club and eventually corroborated his conclusion. A steady buzz began to build and Roy, catching wind of it, rose with his “escorts” to leave. But before he could get within spitting distance of the door, myself and my new friends had initiated an effort to surround and bear down on him with Tomahawk chops and Braves chants.
Security didn’t intervene, I’m not sure they had any idea who he was. Roy, to his credit, took it all in stride and grinned as he inched towards the door. Unfortunately, I can’t furnish any pictures because we were in a strip club and the guards were all too willing to confiscate any camera phones.
But it was definitely evident to my cousin and I that the corners of Roy’s mouth turned up into a knowing grin when we screamed “Pink Pony” at him when he pitched the bottom of the 3rd during Sunday. (H/T Jared of Charleston, SC, via Deadspin)
