Here's my most recent heckle from last week's Texas Rangers game. When Mark Trumbo came up to bat I yelled out to him " Don't name names! Don't name names!" during his next at bat I then began to shout out "I'm Spartacus!" and "No, I'm Spartacus." Of course both of these heckles were bases on the similarity in the names of both Mark and Dalton Trumbo - who was a screenwriter back in the 1950-60's and was blacklisted by the Un-Americans witch hunt conducted by then Wisconsin Sen. McCarthy. Hence the don't name names chant. And movie star Kirk Douglas insisted that Dalton Trumbo write up his film "Spartacus" in spite of him being blacklisted as part of the "Hollywood Ten". So that's where I got the "I'm Spartacus" line.
The key to any heckle is to be obscure, loug and non- profane
