A couple of ugly Yankees fans making the news

I hope they never see the inside of a stadium ever again! Mookie probably wanted to backhand 'em both with his glove after this disgraceful act.

That is damned ridiculous and something that I think they will come to regret. Not just interference but they could have broken his hand!

These two should never be able to get into a MLB park for the rest of their lives and assault charges should be filed against them.

Yet another reason why I am a Red Sox fan.

Hope the Dodgers close them out tonight.

I'm a Mets fan. Yankees fans remind me of Republicans.

Yankee stadium... you might have a couple of fans left. I'm really actually talking about the proportion of complete assholes amongst the Yankees fans vs. the Mets fans. It's just that i associate republicans with assholes.

17. Lest you become too smug about Boston fans..... late 70's. Wife and I were in the Stadium, September- Boston v. Yankees.

Wife goes to rest room, where a fight is in progress. I recall the exact quote. "I'll show you, 'Boston sucks." Two women slugging it out, enough blood to give Dexter a hard-on."

We don't know the prelude to the fray but both parties were willing participants.

Same game --- I stroll out to get a hotdog or whatever. A fight breaks out, wherein one participant, wearing Boston regalia, takes a jar of mustard and wings it at a Yankee fan.

I don't remember who won the game.


Fast forward to 1981. Dodgers v. Yankees. Our seats were between home and third, lower level. About 4 rows behind me, were the Dodger's wives. One level, directly above me, was Joe DiMaggio. These were not shit seats.

Anyway, in the middle of the game, a hotdog fight breaks out.

About an inning later, the game gets close and a guy, two or three rows behind me, doesn't want to miss anything. So he stands up and begins to piss on the concrete.

I doubt that many Boston fans were at that game.


The point - assholery at sports events is now quite common. That is why I haven't been to the stadium or any other professional sports event since my adventure in 1981.

But, I never seen anyone at Fenway pull what those two clowns did to Mookie.

BTW, Fenway is not a stadium it is a baseball PARK.

MLB decided this.
They told the Yankees "No, they won't be welcomed back for game 5."
Yankees management thought tge behavior was ok. MLB had to correct them.
