The Vandy whistler is annoying college baseball fans, and he could be ejected

If you’ve watched a Vanderbilt baseball game in recent years, you’ve probably heard the “Vandy whistler” and his piercing noise at some point.

Here’s a sampling:

He might be in some hot water at the College World Series. The fan, Preacher Franklin, was warned several times during Vanderbilt’s last game on Sunday to cut down on the whistling. And on Tuesday, a spokesperson for TD Ameritrade Park, told The Tennessean that Franklin can, indeed, be ejected for excessive whistling.

The spokesperson, Kristyna Engdahl, said to the Tennessean that after the building receives negative feedback about disruptions like the whistler, they are “obligated to follow our building policy, which is that we give one warning when we are able to address disruptive behavior. After that, we examine whether we take further action."

The statement comes in the wake of Sunday’s development, in which a tournament employee asked Franklin to stop whistling. Franklin said that he was told people around him were bothered by it, as were television viewers watching on ESPN.

During the 2014 College World Series, Franklin and another whistler, Jeff Pack (they double as the two “Vandy whistlers”) said that they were asked by a security guard and a staff member from ESPN to stop whistling — ESPN denied that claim.

This time around, social media has not appreciated Franklin’s whistling very much.

Fans should be able to have fun and express themselves at sporting events, but not if it takes away from the viewing experience of others — who also spent their hard-earned money on tickets. If people watching the game on TV are irked by the whistling, imagine what it must be like to be sitting in the same section — or, God forbid — the same row as that guy?

For what it’s worth, Franklin said he will keep whistling at Vanderbilt’s next game on Wednesday. We will see if he behaves himself, or if he is actually ejected. Twitter would certainly love that.
