Here's just another unrelated story. I was at a twi-night doubleheader at Comiskey Park when I was a kid to see the Tigers play the White Sox. Although he also played for the Sox later, at this time Norm Cash was the Tiger's first baseman. One of the Sox hit a foul pop-up over near the 1st base dugout. Cash tried to reach over the box seats to catch it but some fan threw a beer in his face. Cash jumped the short fence and went after the fan. Unfortunately for Cash, the guy was huge and gave him a forearm right across the throat. It took a whole bunch of security guards to restrain the guy and eject him. Cash had to leave the game and missed the second game that night.
That's what I call fan support.
Here's a fun question for everyone - what do you think was the "coolest" baseball player name of all time. Of course for football, it had to be "Fair Hooker". My submission is "Mordecai 3-finger Brown". Nicknames count.
