Step Up to the Plate and be the Tenth Man on the Field
Tampa Bay, FL (PRWEB) July 21, 2005
Booksurge announces the publication of “The Happy Heckler” by Robert Szasz.
The Happy Heckler is for baseball fans everywhere a hilarious day at the ballpark, seated beside the sport’s greatest fan, Rob Szasz, a.k.a. the ÂÂHappy Heckler.ÂÂ Szasz provides readers with an insightful view of America’s favorite pastimeÂÂnot just from the stands, but from the unique perspective of that loud, funny, and wildly enthusiastic fan who heckles players on the field towards a glorious victory or agonizing defeat.
Szasz rightfully claims the title of baseball’s ÂÂgreatest fanÂÂ with humorous antics that delight his neighboring fans and torture any team who dares to steal a victory from his beloved Tampa Bay Devil Rays. It was Szasz’s good humor which garnered him the nickname of the ÂÂHappy Heckler.ÂÂ ÂÂBecause whenever I do my heckling I always have a smile on my face. I am always having a good time. I am not mean or angry; I always have a smile on my face.ÂÂ
A staunch supporter of team sports his entire life, Szasz’s fame as the ÂÂHappy HecklerÂÂ has drawn worldwide attention and his own fan base. This fame was an unexpected surprise for the baseball lover. ÂÂSports are supposed to be fun and I enjoy having fun. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that this sense of fun would become something that would turn the spotlight on me and change my life in a number of ways.ÂÂ
The Happy Heckler is more than a collection of Szasz’s tales of teasing and razzing the country’s finest baseball players (and some are really hilarious), it is his testimony to why heckling can have a positive effect on any sport. He takes time to explore the age-old practice of heckling in sports and lays out a framework of the proper way to do it. Szasz explains, ÂÂIf you say something that makes sense, be it witty, statistically correct, or whatever, the player will pick up on it much more than if you just call him a bum or whatever profane thing that comes out of your mouth.ÂÂ
Szasz’s clean-cut approach to heckling is refreshing, fun and has garnered the love and respect of players and fans everywhere. ÂÂMy example demonstrates that you can go to the game, enjoy yourself, and have a positive effect on our team’s players and the fans. I am living proof that you can come out to the park, enjoy yourself, have a good time and show that you are here to be the tenth man on the field.ÂÂ
The Happy Heckler will inspires its readers to step up to plate and dare to be the best fan that they can beÂÂno matter how many people nearby fall out laughing.
