Blogger Details Dodger Fans' Abusiveness

Since we’re always bombarded with the reference of Santa Claus in 1962, why not shed light on other unruly fanbases?

No Joshin’ — affiliated with neither the Phillies nor the Dodgers — wrote about his experience in the cheap seats during game three. He attended with his friend, a Phillie fan, who was practically terrorized by Dodger fans. A few other instances are referenced there. Here’s his final take:

“I’ve been to Dodger Stadium before. I’ve had fun there before. But that night has left a severe scar on how I view Dodger Stadium and Dodgers fans. You always hear about Raiders fans at the black hole, or Philadelphia fans booing Santa, or college football rivalries that provide tense moments. But I could have enjoyed my life as a sports fan blissfully unaware of how utterly classless, thoughtless, and gutless some of the Dodgers fans act.”

Just sad. Hopefully one day the media realizes practically every fanbase does this kind of crap, and it’s not just Philadelphia.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
