...every franchise's fan base has some sick individuals who express their passion the wrong way... though this is a serious incident, it shouldn't be an indictment on Dodger fans as a whole.
...hope the poor guy makes a full recovery.

 

[Rick2583]

I agree that every fan base has there share of crazies but the last 2 major incidents came out of LA. That poor SF fan has permanent brain damage & now this. Seriously what the hell is wrong with people? Its a fucking game.

...Rick, a Giants fan stabbed a Dodgers fan to death awhile back.

...my point is when you put 40-50 thousand people together from 2 different fan bases, the idiots will often show their faces and things happen. I've seen Yanx fans do some appalling shit too...no fan base is any better or any worse than another.

 

[Rick2583]

Which is why I said that EVERY fan base has there share of crazies.

It's just a shame how fans can turn into animals (and that's probably in insult to animals) over a game.

 

[yankeesince59]

...lol...it's not just fans.

...don't forget this;

I read somewhere recently that Juan Marichal & John Roseboro ended up years later becoming very good friends.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^oh yeah, they had a great documentary on it awhile back...I think Marichal even spoke at Roseboro's funeral...and spoke about their friendship at his HOF induction speech.


...I'll see if I can find it.

 

[yankeesince59]

...here you go, Rick...but be forewarned, it is a very touching story.

The book "The Bums" reveals such a deep animosity, almost hatred, b/t Bums,NY Giants, and more bad blood b/t the Yanx and Bums.

Chivalry got so bad, the book points out, deaths that occurred b/t Yanx and Bums Fans. One incident in particular, was a heated convo b/t 2 opposing Yanx-Bum Fans, during a 1950 era W.S. Where a Fan was stabbed to death on top of the Produce in a Supermarket.........died on the spot, or apples..........
