Oh, who cares? That this “major event” was the biggest story in the baseball on the day of the Washington Nationals’ first home game is unconscionable- and I also loved the “Baseball Tonight” anchors breaking down the video as though it was the Zapruder film. Though to be fair, Harold Reynolds did also narrate a five-minute analysis of Bush’s motion in throwing out the first pitch at RFK.
I’ve been has captivated by the last few years of the Yankees-Sox rivalry as anyone, but even I’m starting to get sick of it at this point. If the same thing happened with Bobby Higginson in a Tigers/Royals game, would anyone give a shit?
Posted by Stephen Silver at April 15, 2005 02:24 PMI am so embarrassed for the red sox fans. These are supposed to be the mature fans that set the example for the rest of us. What next? Fans in St. Louis start throwing batteries on the field?
I hope they take away Christopher House's season tickets. He's worse than Bartman.

Chris House turned out to be a dick, but Sheffield flew into a roid rage. His attack should be per se evidence of steroid use triggering an automatic 10 day suspension.
