First let me say that I am a huge Buffalo Bills fan as well as Baltimore Orioles fan and I know how it is to be labeled an asshole solely because of my affiliation as a fan of the Bills because of the way their fans behave not only at games, but anywhere. This is something that I cannot change; however, I try to conduct myself in a manner where I would always be proud to be a fan of the Bills. ( I hope that makes sense)
With that said, I hope this doesn’t piss off the good Yankee fans, but you know who you are. I hail from Rochester, NY where our Red Wings were the farm club for the Orioles for years, so I have seen many of the greats come up through the ranks. Being the father of four, I never had the money to go to Camden Yards to see a game. My brother fulfilled my dream of some day seeing one this past weekend. He gave me two tickets and a weekend stay for my birthday. So my wife and I went this past weekend and saw the O’s beat the Yanks on Friday night, 14-8. What a beautiful ballpark!
The worst part about the whole trip was the loud, obnoxious, drunken Yankee fans. I felt bad for some of the parents that were at the game, whose kids witnessed these idiots. (For this same reason, I refuse to take my kids to another Bills game) It’s a shame that these events, which used to be family atmosphere have gotten out of hand!
I spoke to some Oriole’s fans at a restaurant the following night, and they said this happens every time the Yankee’s come to town. Police work overtime, vandalism increases. It’s a travesty that a team so rich in history and tradition should be tainted by the actions of its fans!
