Ray, I would need help. I guess I see things differently. At most parks, there is a walking area between the backstop and the bleachers. While people put their chairs there to view the game, it is still a place where fans of both teams hang out. SamG had the right to stand there as did anyone else. The problem escalated when the fan of the other team physically placed his hands on SamG. SamG, you are a better man than I. That person and myself would have gone to jail the second time he touched me. I'm not saying I'm right or that I'm some tough guy. I am saying that you had the right to stand there and that you have the right to defend yourself when attacked. As always when I post, keep in mind that I'm not normal.
I agree that people are being a little rough on SamG. Maybe he shouldn't have said anything in the first place but the other guy had no right to get physical. To say that he was lucky it only went as far as it did is ridiculous. If someone thinks it's reasonable to shove someone when they mention the batter's foot position, then they're the one who needs help.
Hopefully it's a lesson learned. If you notice something, either mention it to your coach or say nothing.
