The darker side of baseball fans emerges again

 There's always going to be some peabrain or twenty that's had too much to drink at the ballpark, and then, chaos ensues.

Take, for example, Friday's game between San Diego and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Southern California rivals meeting at Petco Park would've just slipped under the radar if not for some halfwit tossing a beer can at LA outfielder Cody Bellinger.

The projectile, of course, missed its target. Bellinger, Chris Taylor, and some concerned fans looked back to try to find the cowardly lush who wasted his can, who apparently decided on a hit & run approach. The Dodgers won to retain 1st place in the NL West.

Earlier this afternoon at Yankee Stadium, Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan crashed into the left field wall in the home 9th, and the Otis Campbell Fan Club decided to make sport of it, which upset Kwan's teammate, Myles "Short" Straw, who decided to climb the fence to confront the dorks.

After pinch-hitter Gleyber Torres drove in the game winner, the Yankees, 1/2 game behind Toronto in the AL East presently, cut short their celebration, as Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton decided to confront the lushes and put an end to the stupidity. Players know they're targets when on the road, and to a man, they have each other's back. Straw, a 2nd year outfielder acquired from Houston in a mid-season deal last year, doesn't have the same amount of experience playing in New York as his teammates do, doesn't know the Bronx. Guardians manager Terry Francona may want to sit Straw AND Kwan (who likely is in the concussion protocols) tomorrow.

In each instance, the offending parties are likely going to lose their seats, banished from the ballpark(s) for life. Maybe MLB needs to consider putting a limit on alcohol purchases. Contrary to a YouTube commentator's remarks, they don't allow you to sneak in a case of cheap dollar store beer into the stadium. You wouldn't get past the turnstiles.

Unfortunately, this will happen again. And again. And again, because people won't learn........
