Have you ever been to a game at the coliseum?

No. But there's plenty of smoke that says these fans have been out of control for some time.

Last year, someone threw a cell phone at a player and hit him in the head.

A couple of years ago, a drunken idiot threw a firecracker that didn't quite make it to the field and hit a little kid.

Going to an A's game sounds like walking into a prison yard.
