Ejecting some fan from a game doesn't mean the actions of the fan should warrant charges filed.


Tee it all depends upon what the Fan is doing. IMO Simply telling the coach to take of it does not solve the problem. This same fan will be back and it's just a matter of time before something ugly happens.

All I'm saying is that if people knew that they could get arrested, spend a night in jail and pay a heavy fine, they would start coming to the game and enjoying it without all that nonsense.

Too many fans are simply getting their wrists slapped . This isn't the PROS where they have top notch security and the umpires do not have to worry about someone following them to their cars.

Also, suppose this fan is the neighbor of the coach or one of his friends. Also, if the fans are angry at you, chances are the coach is also.
