Ozzie Guillen heckled by fans dressed as Fidel Castro, too much?

A group of Houston Astros fans were kicked out of Minute Maid Park Tuesday for dressing up as Fidel Castro to heckle Ozzie Guillen, who was in town with his Miami Marlins earlier this week according to yardbarker.com.

The best thing about Bananas was the Howard Cosell cameo.

I don’t know if you are from the Houston area, but in the last few years a small group of fans have been dressing up for games as:

1.) Vaqueros, complete with little toy horsies and big hats to cheer on Carlos Lee (El Caballo),

2.) Pumas (large felines), complete with head-to-toe furry costumes resembling cougars, to cheer on Lance Berkman (The Big Puma),

3.) Bees, complete with striped backsides and silly antennae, to cheer on Bagewll, Biggio, etc. (The Killer Bees).

The Castro thing seems a natural, although perhaps a little silly given that Jason is fairly unremarkable so far, and fidel is such a monster that it seems in bad taste regardless.

Oh, and the folks were not only wearing obvious, comically fake beards, they had on silly cheap sunglasses, jaunty berets and had big cigars and little Cuban flags in their hands.

The new owner is a lefty that probably agrees with Castro and wanted to have the guns removed from the retro Colt 45 uniforms in order to not promote violence.

I have seen my last Disastro game.
