And by the way, the Coliseum isn't the worst venue in sports. That distinction belongs to Olympic Stadium. Duh.
Which olympic stadium? I assume you mean the one in Canada? Maybe the one in Greece where they booed heavily during the 200m dash final?

But anyways...this incident is no better than that Karl Malone incident in San Antonio where he poked someone in the face. Karl Malone was barely punished, even though he's had a history with it.

Fans are going to say some things that are a bit personal, which is always over the line, but these fans are essentially paying the salaries of these players.

However, the fan might only get payment for medical bills if she was not in the seat she was suppose to be in. I think there's a rule or law that says that a fan must be in their seating vicinity and not have had too much to drink. If the fan did move significantly away from her seating area, then the pitcher should only have to pay the bill and the fine, with no compensation.

Oakland is one of the few, if not the only, bullpen whose area is basically in the middle of foul ground. It's an odd looking bullpen because there's hardly anything that covers it.

Despite Oakland's sucess, they can't draw any fans. The stadium has been dead for years, they can't even sell out Raiders games. I always felt Philly fans were far worst. I think they cheered when Michael Irving was seriously hurt or something.
