    The rivalry in general is totally not out of hand. This is just one huge fucking idiot

    For mostly everybody is all in good fun, and even if it's not, nobody would go that far.

    I just think this was just one insane lady that would have reacted that way no matter what they were fighting about.
    I live about 10 minutes away from where this happened and just outside Boston. The rivalry is not THAT serious.

    well you might have a closer feel to the situation and let's not forget about the other incident that happend just a few months back about the yankee fan getting hi's ass kicked up there ,i believe the rivalry when you mix drunks with it can get out of control really fast & furiuos ...

    yeah this was my point as well. Baseball happens to be a common topic of conversation when there is a lot of alcohol being consumed. It's alcohol combined with crazy and/or stupid people that causes these things. Baseball just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    I think it seems like a baseball problem but is really more of an alcohol problem.
    I'll agree with this one, though the woman is obviously unbalanced. I mean really...

    I agreeon acohol...there's NO WAY, a sober fan would do that. If you're a Yankees fan you'll have a least three friends/family members that are Red Sox fans and vice versa.

    My real good friend of mine is a NYY fan and his fiancee is a Red Sox fan. There's a lot of teasing and taunting at one another but never anything too serious. At least not from my witnesses.

    Of course it's an alcohol thing, just like any bar fight, it wouldn't happen if you weren't in a bar

    it's just a damn shame

    so sad, nice to see he donated his organs though
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    I was just in New York last month and went to a Yankees/Red Sox game.... I was stunned to see the way that the Yankees fans were screaming obsenities at the Red Sox fans and even so much as throwing food at them. I had ketchup splattered all across my clothes because some childish Yankees fan decided to throw his hot dog at a Red Sox fan. Not cool.... I guess I was just naive, but to see actual fist fights breaking out in the stands that the police have to get involved and escort people out....I was overwhelmed by that.
    It's the alcohol, but it's also people with bad attitudes. They need to stop selling alcohol at a certain point during the games.....I have season tickets for the Edmonton Oilers and they stop selling alcohol after the second intermission. It works...
    Like I said, alcohol yes, but bad attitudes make it even worse. There were four guys sitting behind us and they were hammered!!!!!! Three of them were Yankees fans and one of them was a Red Sox fans...they all talked shit to each other, but they were friends. They weren't screaming at other fans or threatening to kick anyone's ass or throwing food.....
    It was a good game and I enjoyed it, but people take this stuff way too seriously. I'm a huge sports fan so I understand being passionate about your team and all, but take it down a notch.

    Besides having sat through numerous games at Yankee Stadium between the two in the stands and in the pressbox, the one incident that truly stands out happened outside of the stadium in 2005 or 2006.

    It was on the D train, a yankee fan and a Red Sox fan were chatting. It appeared to be informal chit-chat, banter etc, but it wasn't. When the Red Sox fan exited the D train at 59th street, the Yankee fan threw a glass bottle in their direction. Fortunately for all parties involved it missed the intended target.
