Sheffield

[andyfox]

The now [in]famous fan who leaned over the stands in the Gary Sheffield lost his season ticket.

"That just proves I wasn't in the wrong, and that's what this is all about," Sheffield said in New York. "Yeah, you try to represent the game the right way, but then being told you're in the wrong for reacting to something you didn't start, that's kind of disturbing. That just makes me feel like it's a hypocritical society."

"The only thing I wanted to see is that whatever takes place ... is to try to send a strong message that fans can't throw things or hit people or put their hands on anybody," Sheffield said. "If you're out on the street, I guarantee that same guy doesn't put his hands on me. So why should we be penalized for a situation like that because we're on a baseball field?"

Sheffield has said some silly things in the past. You all know I'm a Yankee fan. But he'll be hard-pressed to say something as silly as this in the future.

Torre's and Jeter's initial remarks about the guy were equally silly, although they were responding on the spur of the moment right after the incident and a tough loss. Sheffield has had time to reflect on how much he over-reacted.

why has anyone ever liked Sheffield? He has always been this way, in fact, he has been just as bad as Bonds excepts he grants more interviews, and he doesn't hit as many HR's. Still one surly egotistical SOB.

Because he's a [censored] awesome hitter. That's why I like him.

If Sheffield has 1-2 more good season after this one, I think he gets in the Hall.

in my opinion..if your a fan and you think you have the right to clip,smack,punch,jab a player on the field....then that player has every right to beat you within a inch of your life if they choose too.
I loved Oneil dropping that chubby douche bag who was dumb enough to run on the court.

I agree with you, but I just want to reiterate I don't like Sheff. If this incident hadn't happened, I still wouldn't like him.

I enjoyed O'Neal pwning that guy as well.

He fell down hard.

I miss Artest. The Pacers would be great with him back, not that I'm a Pacers fan.

You notice not to many people [censored] with football players...cuz they know they'll probally get killed.
