While no excuse, they didn't get to see close-up replays of A-rod swattting the ball. A lot of Yankee fans were disapointed with the fans behavior last night, this one included. But if lets say Johny Damon swats a ball and it happened in Boston, some of their fans would do the same thing. There are bad apples in any stadium.
It reminds me of the 1990 Eagles-Redskins playoff game I attended in Philly. That was the "Body Bowl" year and Buddy Ryan's last game before he got fired. Early in the game Philly ran back a fumble for a TD that was reversed by replay. You could still see the big screen in the stadium replay the "fumble" and it really looked like one until I got home later and saw the highlights, which showed the ground caused the fumble. Still the crowd was irate and the a-hole chants rang for 10 minutes. That changed the game and we took over from there. At halftime I was waiting in the concession line and was tackled by an Eagles fan, who was pulled away by his friend, before it got worse.
