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!
Johnny Damon was just on TV defending Sheff. Is he Pro-Yankee as well?
Why are the fans not accountable. One hits him in the face, another dumps a beer on him. This behavior is offensive, and needs to be stopped.
After the Pacer brawl, I felt the same. When people are physically attacking players with projectiles and physical harm, those people need to be prosecuted and punished severely. The result of the Pacer event is fans are now emboldened to do whatever the hell they want to opposing players, and the players have no recourse. Hopefully, nothing happens to Sheffield here, so baseball does not make the same stupid mistakes that Stern made last fall.
