The player is trying to take my souvenir away, and he's going to have to fight me for it. Rays fans may wish to part the Red Sea for their players, that's their prerogative, but you can't legislate or mandate it when it goes against the playing rules of baseball.
Acting drunk or disorderly is not against the playing rules of baseball, but a ballpark can certainly legislate or mandate that you not do it or be removed from the park. The assertion that the ballpark has no authority over it's fans other than those proscribed in the rulebook that rules the game they are watching is asinine.
