So Gary Sheffield didn't pull an Artest last night, even after getting socked by a fan. Hart ponders the growing quotient of assholeness among Sox fans:

... Honestly, I've never understood the fascination some fans have for getting a game ball. Trying to get hold of a foul while in your seat is one thing, but this clawing out of the stands like a zombie looking for brain to eat is pathetic and sad. ...

Denton, who was about 15 rows behind the guy who swung at Sheffield, says the situation was even worse (and is amazed the guy is not facing charges):

...I was there, and the hostility in the air was scary. A couple of people were ejected earlier for throwing stuff into the Yankees bullpen. I'm not talking about college kids, these were grown men. What you couldn't see on the replays were the bottles that began flying at Sheffield from the RF Boxes and the upper deck. When all was said and done, it was not one fan it was a bunch, and they humiliated their team and the rest of the fans with their actions. ...

And then we've got A-Rod saving some kid's life on Newbury Street - even before he knew the kid was a Yankee fan.
