Misconduct from a spectator...any recourse?

I don't get your thought process. The fan has already compromised any focus or rhythm of the game. Maybe you see more than I do. I get one moron every ten games or so. All the rest you can smile at and wink. I can take it, but someone who is way out there on the fringe, ruining the game for players, coaches, me and the other FANS, will usually get pointed out. I've gotten more than one pat on the back from fans (and players) thanking me or a partner for shutting down a game-wrecker. I don't think anybody is wrong in how they approach this, but I like the head-on method. Have I ever tossed a fan out of a ballgame?? Never.

By rule, game management needs to take care of these problems.(not us) I believe that you lose focus, of your task at hand, if your head is in the stands.. even the slightest bit.
I am not in agreement with the "head on" approach. No good can come from confronting fans, even if you get "pats" from other people around.
If a fan "physically" prevents me from doing a game, then it is a different story. For all other things, I handle it by using the recommended rule of game management, or writing up the incident. Still MHO.
