(FiniteTimes.com) – Perennial presidential tease Sarah Palin was briefly detained and released Friday night by Boston police after a Fenway Park incident which resulted in a 15-minute delay of the Athletics/Red Sox game.
“A middle-aged, folksy woman later identified as Mrs. Palin was seen stalking through the seats carrying a high-powered rifle just after the start of the third inning,” a ballpark spokesman said after the game. “We of course immediately apprehended Mrs. Palin and the 40-some member of her press entourage, and questioned her as to why she was roaming our ballpark with a weapon.
“She said, and I quote, ‘Ah’m gonna take out that Green Monster problem for ya, and gee won’t it make a swell trophy thing for Todd and the younguns’, unquote. At this point, someone from security said that most folks use a bat to try and better the Green Monster, and we sent her on her way with a commemorative Louisville Slugger,” the spokesman said.
“You’d catch random glimpses of her on the Jumbotron every once in a while, stalking through the rows, bat at the ready, striking poses for her cadre, but no one complained, so…” the spokesman said with a shrug.
Boston went on to win the game, 8-6.
