17. Lest you become too smug about Boston fans..... late 70's. Wife and I were in the Stadium, September- Boston v. Yankees.

Wife goes to rest room, where a fight is in progress. I recall the exact quote. "I'll show you, 'Boston sucks." Two women slugging it out, enough blood to give Dexter a hard-on."

We don't know the prelude to the fray but both parties were willing participants.

Same game --- I stroll out to get a hotdog or whatever. A fight breaks out, wherein one participant, wearing Boston regalia, takes a jar of mustard and wings it at a Yankee fan.

I don't remember who won the game.


Fast forward to 1981. Dodgers v. Yankees. Our seats were between home and third, lower level. About 4 rows behind me, were the Dodger's wives. One level, directly above me, was Joe DiMaggio. These were not shit seats.

Anyway, in the middle of the game, a hotdog fight breaks out.

About an inning later, the game gets close and a guy, two or three rows behind me, doesn't want to miss anything. So he stands up and begins to piss on the concrete.

I doubt that many Boston fans were at that game.


The point - assholery at sports events is now quite common. That is why I haven't been to the stadium or any other professional sports event since my adventure in 1981.
