    This surprises me. Was it at old County Stadium or American Family? Saw the Astros twice at County and both experiences were some of the best I've ever had.

    And speaking of ballparks, here's a couple of very unpopular opinions: Fenway Park is the most over-rated ballpark in the country and it's not even close. You will not convince me otherwise, so don't try. A distant second on the most over-rated list is Wrigley Field. Visited Wrigley and County on back-to-back days and the experience wasn't even close. Cubs "fans"...please. Tiger Stadium on the other hand was f*** AWESOME! Never should have torn it down. Best ballpark? PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Camden Yards is a close second.

    Yep. Tiger stadium is awesome. I go to about 2 series a year there and love it.

    It was at American Family although then it was still called Miller Park. It was a late season game and the Brewers were in a tight race with the Cubs. The Brewers had the early lead but in the 8th the Stros scored three runs to take the lead. I got up cheering when the Stros got the go ahead run. I was at the bottom row of the upper deck and a bottle comes clanking down a few feet away from along with some F bombs from above me.

    I green Wrigley and Fenway are old and uncomfortable but love the vibe and the area around them. That same trip that I got the bottle thrown at me I was at Wrigley the day before and while the Cubs fans gave me some friendly jeering they were VERY friendly.

    "Threat", which by all accounts was a guy screaming (disgusting and inappropriate behavior, but not life-threatening), not wielding a knife or threating to punch a child in the face. And not only that, the "threat" was already abated as the guy was already being led away from the scene.

    There was no threat when some d******d poured beer on the guy. There was no threat when second d******d threw two punches.

    This isn't about bravery and cowardice (but thanks for that lovely little insult), it's about being the better human. What did we prove by dousing that d******d with beer and throwing punches at him as he was already brought under control and being taken away? Nothing. Nothing to be proud of, anyway.

    Pretty sure you dont wind up arrested/kicked out by "doing nothing" and being the victim of assault...

    All these people claiming our fans were out of line here should go pull what that guy did in Fenway, NY, LAD, CHI, etc. and see how that works out for them while wearing a Correa bright orange jersey (50/50 chance they get stabbed in the parking lot)
