I don't even want to link to accounts, frankly, because they embarass me as a Twins fan. At the ballpark. With a mob of people, many of whom had been drinking, I'm sure. Some local news people have tried to blame the behavior on younger crowds, the fact that so many teenagers and college students are showing up. But honestly, I don't buy that.
Jerks are jerks, no matter what age group.
It's embarassing and nasty and wrong. I was heartened at Tuesday's game because the crowd was cheering the right things. Mientkiewicz got, by far, the most applause, for instance. Whereas in the past how much applause players got depended more on personality than on how they were playing. The signs in the crowd were clever, for the most part, and positive.
