Until very recently, Tony Holmes – aka @soloucity to his Twitter followers – was just another seemingly content sports fan living in St. Louis, happy to be a baseball and football fan. He didn’t feel an emptiness, or a need to fill his heart with even more sports to love. Was he missing out on perhaps the most exciting postseason action on television? Sure, but he was ignorantly blissful. You can’t miss what you don’t know.
That has all changed now, and it couldn’t have happened to a more hilarious person. Holmes became a viral sensation this past week after he decided to live tweet his experience watching an NHL playoff game for the first time.
