Report: Dodgers player boasted of urinating in Diamondbacks pool at Chase Field
Jackson says that at least one Dodgers player urinated in the pool and loudly boasted about it. Jackson also says indications are that "multiple" players peed in the neo-iconic pool, which is just beyond the outfield fence in right center and really ties the stadium together.
Gee, wiz, guys. Really? Dodger blue, not Dodger yellow.
After reportedly asking the Dodgers beforehand not to celebrate outside of the visitor's clubhouse, the Diamondbacks raised a fuss about the pool party. A group of Dodgers, perhaps 10-15 — possibly realizing that the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint — defied the request. Afterward, D-backs utility man Willie Bloomquist, without even getting into any possible micturating, said the Dodgers acted "classless." A few locals in the lapdog portion of the media agreed and, on the whole, the D-backs looked like whiners....

beat 'em.
They were talking about how good their product (an IT product) is and how it is installed at Marlin's Park, and I damn near started to laugh at the guy, as I was ready to ask him if it had actually been used or seen by anyone!!
Jackson: "
huge gasp) Ahmmmm! I'm tellin'!!!"
A little context on just why Jackson might post a hearsay story and refuse to attribute it:

For what it's worth, I come down on the side of meaningless boast. As I said before though... Jumping in the pool is not something I would have done as a player, but isn't it ODD that the vehicle was right there underneath the pool so they could use it to climb over the fence? Am I the only person who noticed that?
