And then there are some crazy baseball fans there who scream their heads off like real fans. I sat on the 1st base side close to the foul pole two years ago when Abreu was still on the team. There was a group of crazy fans who were giving Abreu more $#@! than I ever heard him get in Philly, and that's saying something.
My guess is that there is a cultural difference in the fans. The fans of Latin American descent are the ones who are more likely to act like crazy fans. The Anglos, not so much. Especially the ones who sit behind home plate. Extreme generalization yes but I went to a baseball game in Mexico one time and I noticed a similarity in the vibe from some parts of the crowd.
Yeah and black people like to yell at the screen during horror movies.
I'm a cultural anthropologist, so I'm allowed to notice these kinds of things.
