<img src="https://www.420magazine.com/gallery/data/1073/user00134.gif" align=left>Last weekend's series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Florida Marlins brought plenty of excitement in a tightly packed National League East race, but it turned offbeat when a Marlins fan came sauntering out of the upper deck and was somehow able to sneak past security and sit down next to Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee in an attempt to smoke him.
Hensley Dawson has been a South Florida resident for nearly two years, and the Jamaican native says he has planned getting to Dubee since he has been in the United States.
"The Jamaican culture demands that our people explore all the possibilities of expanding our consciousness, man," said Dawson. "With a name like Dubee, I was pretty sure that by just taking a long drag on him, I'd have myself my own personal little transcendental event, don't ya know? Of course, I was wrong."
Dubee insists that he is not marijuana and neither are any of his family members.
"This is the third time in two years someone has tried to light me up and get high," he said. "If I was marijuana, how do you explain my ability to walk freely through airports?"
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel begs to differ.
"Considering some of the work he has done with Brett Myers and Adam Eaton this season, he just might be the world's largest joint," said Manuel.
Myers, the former opening day starter, was sent down to the minors. Eaton, another starter with a ballooning ERA, has been buried in the bullpen. Dubee was questioned by authorities who were satisfied his molecular makeup is largely carbon-based, with only traces of California Sensimilla.
Steve Stone, former pitcher and current color commentator for the Chicago White Sox radio broadcasts, said he was in a similar situation during a spring training game in the early 1980's when his popularity was at an all-time high after he won the Cy Young Award.
"Some dude ran into the bullpen as I was making some pregame tosses and tried to insert a bong in my butt," said Stone. "What he didn't know was I had eaten some Mexican the night before. He not only woke up with a terrific headache, but had one hell of a case of the trots."
