The angle I saw I didnt see the fan hitting him. Maybe another camera angle will show that? But from what i seen Sheffield was in the wrong. I feel Sheffield is in the wrong no matter what, as with the Pacers game/brawl they said the Pacers had a huge court and that they could have ran away their life wasnt in danger, sheffield could have walked away without punching a fan. He should be fined. Don't get me wrong i'm not a Boston fan or a Yankees Fan, personally I hate baseball. Was just flipping through the stations whatched a couple minutes and this happened.
