Professional athletes are no strangers to getting abuse from the stands, but every now and then there's one person that manages to stand out from the crowd.
We probably all know the guy at the game; that person who just won't shut up and relentlessly focuses on one player, taunting and shouting abuse at him until his throat is sore. Of course, as a pro athlete, you figure the folks on the field just get used to it, but every now and then you get a reminder that they do still hear it when someone is calling them all the names under the sun.
That was the case for Houston Astros star Dallas Keuchel, who sent one fan home with a reminder that said "yes, your heckling is annoying, but I don't really give a flying..." well we'll let you finish that sentence yourselves.

Alright, it's a bit of a cocky move, but we like that he signed it with a heart. After all, you don't want to be too harsh on the guy who's paying your salary...
