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.
I don't see what logic is so hard to understand. If you are are a home team fan help the home team and don't help the visiting team. I'm just saying why mgmt may have ejected a home fan who did not follow home fan etiquette. They should have ignored and be glad they had paid home fans.

How do you determine a home fan from a visiting fan? I will wear a Pirates shirt and Padres cap when I go to Petco to see my favorite NL East team play. How does the usher determine who you are rooting for?

For that case, I'm going to be wearing a Cardinals shirt when I go to Petco next week (Padres v. Marlins), and I'm sitting right against the wall. If I catch a ball on my side of the wall, am I automatically given free reign or automatically ejected?

Free reign, baby! You will not be ejected if the ball in on your side of the wall. Be sure to go to one of the recommended restaurants. I still say Lou & Mickey's in the Gaslamp for a nice steak.
