I'm good with permanent ban after one transgression of this sort.

This.

This wasn't a case of a fan being too noisy or rowdy. This was assault and even though glass bottles aren't sold in stadiums now there was the potential to cause injury or harm.

Those fans should never be allowed back at OPACY again if the charges are proven true.

As someone who has spent (often uncomfortable) time in the bleachers of Memorial, Camden Yards, and Dodger Stadiums, I can say that there can be sometimes a fine line between hilarious drunken ribaldry and a-hole behavior. But mostly it’s a-hole behavior.

I’m not sure it’s that fine a line. Just don’t be an a-hole. Maybe drinking $20 beer makes people think they’re entitled to act like a jerk.

I have never gotten kicked out, but I have had a few drinks and taunted the visiting pitcher in the BP at a Giants game. I even got a laugh out of him with one of my comments. Nothing too mean or bad language. 
Another time at a minor league game, I was behind the visiting dugout and there was a brawl on the the field. As the instigator was heading back to the dugout, I said something that made him try to climb into the stands. His teammates grabbed him and he tried to get me to go down there. I was bigger than him at the time, but I am certainly not dumb enough to go down on the field and really just thought it was all funny because my comment to him wasn’t that bad.  Something along the lines of “If you put as much effort into hitting the baseball as you do players maybe you wouldn’t be 24 years old playing rookie league.”

I got kicked out of Memorial Stadium once when I was 16.  We drank on the way to the stadium.  Snuck a pint of 151 rum into the stadium.  Got so drunk I couldnt walk and began to make comments about how hot a 14 year old girl was who was sitting in front of me.  The ushers kicked us out.  

Never spit or cursed  but alcohol can make idiots of anyone.   

No, it makes someone who is already an idiot even more of an idiot...

The games I have been to I have seen no security.Day games but last year saw security I think with black shirts .I know there are some cops in the stadium. Should have seen the amount of police near the MARC and Light Rail station yesterday . BCPD,Maryland police and even a few Homeland security officers  K-9 units but don't pet the dogs. 

Also have seen no  traffic control at all. That is a city thing with the Orioles.

Idiots will be idiots, no matter what city or team the fans come from. There is zero, and I mean zero reason to throw things or spit on someone because they are member of another team. Good Lord. 

It might make sense though to have a security guard/usher/police officer stationed out there to dissuade the idiots.

There is always a strong security presence out there due to the accessible nature of the players in the bullpen.

When Bleier initially said that someone had thrown beer on him I was surprised that there was no mention of the offending fans being identified and ejected. Relieved to hear that they were. Idiots are going to be idiots and I hope that the action of these idiots doesn't result in any changes to that area, because it is a cool spot to watch an inning or two.
