Baseball's Worst Fans (O's 25th - That's Pretty Good)

[Redskins Rick]

Dodgers, Red Sox, and Yankees deservedly at the top of the list!

Except that its not unsafe to visit Boston's stadium in visitor gear.

I would never think about that in Dodger land.

Agreed, that's just another level of scariest when going to park, and the Dodgers really have done nothing to curb the violence either. More security and cameras and earlier last calls might be a good start. Maybe don't even serve alcohol until their fans can act civilized.

I'll visit them when they play the Orioles but I'll be looking over my shoulder and getting the hell out ASAP.

It's me. I never stopped taking my meds.

Jays fans aren't too bad, just hate the team. Bought a guy a beer last year when he showed proof of Canadian citizenship.

Did he drop his other one towards McLouth?

I was in O's gear for the series in 2004 after we signed Tejada in LA. My wife is a Dodgers fan so she was in her gear. I never had any issues at all except for one guy that gave me a little grief after the game ended but as we were swept that series no one else said a thing. I've been there multiple times to see them play other teams and haven't ever had an issue.

Not saying things don't happen, as obviously they do, just that I never saw anything bad.

Oakland, on the other hand...

I've been to a bunch of stadiums in O's gear for the games:

Fenway: caught some grief before the game, but buddied up after we got shellacked 12-1.

Yankee: a few random "Baltimore sucks" shout-outs but nothing major. Two separate Yankee fans offered to photograph me and my son and chatted with a Yankee fan about little league baseball for half the game.

Philly: nothing at all. Probably would have been different when the place was packed and the Phillies were good.

U.S. Cellular: a few dirty looks but not much else. Guy at the john chatted me up about how he wished the Sox hit home runs like the O's.

Wrigley: so much fun. Cubs fans must be used to visiting fans. A lot of them even yelled out the "O" during the national anthem. I wasn't even too upset after we lost to see their whole "W" flag ceremony.

Washington: Pretty tame. There were so many O's fans there that were far more obnoxious than any Nats fans were.

Going to Dodger this year. Have heard a lot of stories about how visiting color teams should stay out of the bleachers and cheapest upper deck seats. There are a lot of sources that say its about the only unsafe place to go to a game in enemy colors.
