So, I just read this article about a New Jersey man intentionally vomiting on another fan and his 11-year-old daughter during a Phillies baseball game back in April! I guess this guy and his friend were spilling beer, cursing, and heckling an off-duty police captain and his daughter. This guys friend was spitting and the police captains daughter got hit by some of it and the friend got ejected. Then, this guy stuck his finger down his throat and vomited on this guy and his daughter and then starting punching the police captain in the back of his head. The other fans in the crowd subdued the guy at that point. The guy ended up pleaded guilty to simple assault, disorderly conduct, and harassment. Because he pleaded guilty, charges for reckless endangerment and corruption of minors were dropped. The guy's family said that he's never had any run-ins with the law or been in any kind of trouble before. The offered up the fact that he just turned 21 in March and alcohol consumption as a possible explanation.
I cannot believe that people can be so disgusting at a baseball game, for no reason! I'm glad the guy got taken to court for this. Alcohol consumption or not, behavior like this is just unnecessary. The article didn't say what his sentence was but I think he definitely should be punished for something like this. Intentionally vomiting on somewhat is so disgusting. I can't get over that! It's people like this that make baseball games a lot less fun. I've been to quite a few baseball games, and they're always a lot of fun. But people who act like this kind of ruin it for the rest of us, especially if there's children around. People like this just tick me off!

Where I'm From
I am from cut down trees and empty lots
Horses and pickles, and Mom's Oreo dessert
I am from passed on pets and cat hair covered floors
Old diaries and empty dresser drawers
I am from cut up cheese and "Cold hand, warm heart"
Old shoe boxes and remodeled walls
I'm from Saturday night card games and camping up north
Raccoons, canoeing, and candy-hunting squirrels
I'm from naming stray cats and late night basketball games
Concerts, baseball, Yahtzee, and road trips
I'm from rollerblading on concrete floors
"Postal parties" and afternoon bike rides
I'm from "There's no place like home"
