Did they show the Granderson incident on tv?

From reading this thread: It's OK to put your hands on a player during the field of play as long as there is no ill intempt.

 

Are you freaking kidding me? What reasonable explanation gives the right for a fan to reach out and touch a player? They should be kicked out immediately. The only overreaction here is the media creating this as a top headline.

 

Just yesterday someone started a thread that said every thread on angels win.com has a legitimate face palm post. 

 

This one has several.

It was a sign of affection. Why are people so afraid of being touched? Would you beat up a teacher if he tenderly touched you on the shoulder?

 

You're trying way too hard.

trying way too hard to do what?

I think their are rules about teachers affectionally touching their students.

Troll.

wasn't trolling. a lot of people have a weird aversion to being touched and overreact as a result. it's not like the guy grabbed him and hindered gameplay.

That was a gross overreaction. The dude gave him a tender touch. Maybe he's just insecure in his manhood and sexuality.

Or he simply doesn't like tender touches from a stranger in public that happens to be the same sex.

Who can take a small tap, make a big scene too, get up in his grill and yell obscenities for two? The Grandyman! The Grandyman can!

That isn't a "pat on the back". The fan conveniently touched his shoulder just as he was about to throw. He was trying to disrupt the play. Regardless, a fan should never touch a player on the field.

Trips me out that some people focus on Granderson's reaction, not the drunk fool.

It was embarrassing.

They got him out quickly, but he was doing the "make some noise/rile up the crowd to give him props" wave. The fans in the area even did a "let him stay" chant.

They don't look ghetto, they look like douche bags.

Dude just wanted to thank him for helping him win a fantasy baseball league a few years ago...

Keep your arms and legs inside the stands while the game is in motion.

I remember when a fan touched Monica Seles on the back.

[Stradling]

It was not a tender touch.

I have only seen what is posted on this thread. Was there a play still in progress? Was there someone on base tagging up?

[m0nkey]

Bigger idiots: the guy involved or the people here saying granderson overreacting?

No one on and he caught a foul ball. I assume if there was, Granderson would have thrown it in then maybe said or did somethig, but with the bases empty he had time to confront the dude.

 

It was weird because it seemed harmless at first but the arguing seemed to go on for longer than just a touch (from my perspective) and not shown was the second baseman started running out to right and it seemed like there was almost a Texas Rangers or Dodgers/Cubs with the team taking on fans. Other Mets players also started moving in that direction, but only the second baseman really went to aid and ended up in shallow/mid right.

Does it matter?

Apparently, he wasn't a teacher in sneaky's neighborhood.

I think Granderson's reaction was over the top. He can kiss my ass.

[YouthofToday]

Granderson's reaction was not over-the-top. I probably would have done the same thing. The "fan" should be banned from the stadium IMO.
