Fairfax, VA—Betty Lynn Bernanski swears she clapped so hard at Gray Sox games last year that her right hand became deformed. “Like a crab claw,” said the 26 year old who claims to be a lifetime Sox fan. The woman is suing the franchise for several million dollars, according to her attorney Marty Brown. “Betty Lynn can’t even pet her cats without poking them in the eyes. They run from her when she returns to her apartment after work,” said Brown. “It’s all because of the Sox. The team edged her on for support, and she gave it to them. This is a classic case of over-clapping.” “I’m not sure we’ve even seen this woman before,” said Sox owner Hiram “Happy” Maloney. “We’ve given her nothing to clap about anyway.”

While Betty Lynn, oh by the way I’m glad you clarified the bet we had going on in the stands, I’m glad to say that I racked in a good 5 Ben Franklins that he was a she – well in the stands we just called it “Pat” to be safe. Anyway, I’m shocked that Pat er Betty Lynn is claiming this was from “over-clapping”, I may be needed as a witness because Pat has told me that she bends her fingers that way so she can hold 1 hotdog to eat while having 4 on deck with 2 stacked up between each set of her fingers. I’ve seen her put down a whole 8 pack of hotdogs before the Gray Sox even take the field – she is the only one I’ve ever seen take care of an 8 pack of hotdogs and a 10 pack of buns in one sitting – the Vendors usually just settle up next to her for an inning or 2. Pat likes to clean the way for her hands to continue ‘clapping’ when her favorite player Silky Wilky takes to the pasture.
If the Club needs me as a witness, I’ll be glad to tell ‘em what I know of Pat.
