Sheffield = Punk

[jra]

Sheffield DID punch at the fan...with his right hand, whilst holding the ball.

[Livn4Golf]

If Comissioner Selig weren't a gutless coward, Boston would forfeit that game for the thuggery of its classles fans.

[Mr. Mojo]

So the drunk idiot fan swung at Sheff in the middle of a play and Sheff is the punk?

Ok.

[Numbers Guy]

Sheffield = Punk

I'm certainly not a Yankees supporter, but if the fan took a swing at him, I don't see how that makes Sheffield the bad guy in this situation.

[buckeyesrule]

****Sheffield did not throw a punch at the fan, and a security official quickly jumped in to separate the two.****

Leave it to ESPN to have the Pro-Yankee headline. Sheffield did take a swing at the fan and almost knocked over a girl on the left side. Give the girl credit for holding onto her beer!

Beantown = sewer.

[MikefromOhio]

the fan was out of line. Sheffield had every right after the first swing, whether it be intentional or not by the fan. It is said umpteen gazillion times that fans cannot enter the field of play.

I hope they get that idiot that threw the beer on Sheffield too.

You dont want to do that to a guy like Sheffield. Dude is a psycho.

Go Bucks.

[benjaminjjones]

It looked to me like a drunken fan was trying to scoop up the ball.

[chet_in_ny]

The Yankee shills on YES network were gushing over Sheffield's "restraint" In my mind the shoving by Sheffield constituted an offensive touching.

It kind of looked like the fan was looking down trying to scoop the ball up and didn't see Sheffield coming.
All Fans should learn not to lean over the wall and interfere with the ball during play.

[Cagey]

I saw the play, and Sheffield was struck by the fan. Sheffield got in the fan's face, but didn't strike back. And, how does that make Sheffield a punk?

The only punk I saw was the drunk fan.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Fans are out of control. Stupid blowhards who were picked last for teams when they were kids, and now they're nothing but chumps like Tom Arnold on Best Damn Sports Show. That's all they are.

[Echo Talon]

I saw this i was watching, to me the fan wasn't even looking at Sheffield he was making a motion to someone else, then Sheffield punched him! Sheffield should have been tossed!

[rawhide]

"Sheffield = Punk"

I respectfully disagree. Sheffield played for awhile down here in Atlanta and the guy was a class-act all the time he was here. He quietly went about his business, doing what he was paid to do. We love him down here and we were sorry to see him leave when he did.

[F16Fighter]

"Sheffield = Punk"

Did YOU see the play, or are you Mr. Magoo?

[Petronski]

"Baseball Tonight" just did a tellustrator breakdown of Dubya's first pitch. It was well done, in kindness, with a thumbs up. "I know he loves this show, so we're gonna give him the complete breakdown."



LOL

[mainepatsfan]

This story is to going to way overblown.

[b4its2late]

Sheffield was bent over going for the ball and the fan got him with an upper cut.

That stadium is nothing but trouble with the fans able to grab the players in fair territory. Tear the damn thing down and get a real stadium.

[beyond the sea]

Sheffield, that punch and Judy hitter, should have thrown the ball to the cutoff man, before he smoked the fan!

;-)

No matter what, he's pretty quick on his feet, great footwork.
