NewMexiKen can’t decide what I think about this. Yes, I’ve witnessed some awful behavior at stadiums, even threatening. Still, some of my fondest memories of ball parks include the guy eating the moths — and kissing his girlfriend; some guys yelling to the lower deck, “Hey Miller, how much for your daughter?” (Miller was the name on the jersey a guy was wearing); and, of course, moving to better seats.

Oh, and catching my teenage uncle smoking when I was 7 or 8 — and threatening to tell Grandma.
