The fan who thought of the Chas Chomp tells us how it started. Chas McCormick is grateful...
Agruso — who teaches language arts and coaches football, basketball and track at Westbrook Intermediate in Friendswood — got the whole thing started at an extra-inning game against the Padres in May 2021. After attending the first game of the series that went 11 innings, Agruso was back for more the next day, and that game went 12 innings. Near the end of that five-hour marathon, Agruso felt a little delirious in his seat in the Crawford Boxes.
Agruso and his 11-year-old son Jacob began doing it every time they made it to a game. The magic of the Chas Chomp worked again when Sattem attended a game with Agruso. Instantly, he became a believer and started doing the Chas Chomp at every game he attended, even if his friend wasn’t by his side. “It pumps me up,” McCormick said. “I noticed if I’m playing well, you’ll start to kind of hear it, but if I’m not playing that well, then you won’t hear it.”
Agruso has a good reason for missing Chas Chomp when he’s not playing well: He’s probably not at the game. Agruso estimates that he attends about 15 games a year — “Teacher’s salary, you know?,” he laughs — and he’s gone back and checked the stats. He insists that in the first 16 games he or Sattem did the Chas Chomp, McCormick was “something like a .400 hitter in those games. Seriously, I did the math.
