Watching the highlights of tonight's yankees/orioles game, and a home run the orioles outfielder grabbed over the wall some ridiculous yankee fan tried to slap it out of the glove like an 8-year old girl.
WEAK.
I mean I know 'your' yankees got absolutely obliterated, but that's no reason to try to get in the way, jerk.

Every team has idiot fans in the stands. Please stop the old and tired myth that Yankees fans are any less classy then other jerkoffs in far away ballparks.

That is all well and good, as I can state AS A FACT that I have been to many many Yankee games where the fans were great. My comment was just to stand up for the vast majority of good Yankee fans who, because of the money they have, and their general dominance of the sport for a century, have to listen to mindless banter from the envious!

Can you please show and/or tell me where a fan of visiting team attempted to knock the ball out of the home team's glove?
Personally, never seen nor heard of it happening prior to last night.

Lets see, its late September, the Orioles are real bad, the Yankees are in a heated pennant race, and Baltimore is a hop skip and a jump from the NY area. Yankee fans outnumber Oriole fans for these games.
Can you please tell me what that has to do with generalizing a whole fan base? The guy was an idiot! Yes he was. They unfortuantley dot EVERY ball park in the majors, and minors for that matter. But, of course, the Yankee fans get singled out like they are worse than anywhere else because its feels so good to hate the Yankees because they have, in general, kicked tail for a century. And they are loaded with cash. This thread is just stupid ....

This isn't the first time in a playoff hunt this has happened...that dumb kid stole a sure out a few years back and turned it into a home run....there was the moronic kid who jumped into the netting a few weeks back.
The point of this thread wasn't to generalize ALL yankee fans as classless, just saying in this case, it clearly was.

I simply stated with this thread was it was a classless display, and it has nothing to do with being envious of the yankees.
I think your repeated statement about how envious all the fans in baseball must be of the yankees success and payroll speaks volumes about why yankee fans are despised anywhere they go.

I have seen many occasions where a player goes into the stands for a ball....fair or foul.... and the fans are grabbing and slapping at his mitt......because they think they are entitled to go after the ball. In most of these instances, it is just the typical home town fan.
An Oriole goes over the wall to turn a home run into an out, and a 'fan' after initially cringing away, slaps at the glove trying to knock the ball loose.
There were 2 guys there, and one going after it.
Yes it was classless.
Yes they were yankee fans.
Yes my post was warranted...sorry you don't feel the same.
It was obvious that he was attempting to knock the ball out, not stretching to catch a home run.
edit - oops, ax beat me to it

But that's *not* what happen...he initially pulled back, saw the outfielder going to make the play, and he wasn't going for the ball, he wasn't trying to get the ball, he was intentionally trying to slap the fielder's glove.

Not really...Unit was coming off of back surgery his last year in Seattle, and it would have been a major gamble to re-sign him.
As far as Arod, any team that would have matched Texas' offer of $25 mil / year would have been nuts.
Oh well...I'm still an M's fan, whether or not they ever win a world series...I wonder how many yankees can look themselves in the mirror and say that about 'their' team.
And what are you talking about? I made no reference to the spankees in that Braves thread. I know it's tough to keep straight, but I have the big MARINERS logo next to every one of my posts.
What I did mention was the NY bias the media (sports, included) has in this country.
Edited to say that Joey Cora used to drive me NUTS!!!!!
