Class, LA, classy.

It is going to be a great series. To the people in LA: ABC= Always be classy.

When Profar went after that ball and into the fans and then waited, pretending like he hadn't caught it I knew he was taunting the Dodgers' fans. Dangerous game. Wait until the series is over, then you can taunt and talk. Reminds me of Jeffrey Leonard back in the mid-80s when he tried to mess with a whole city by calling St. Louis a cow town and did that "One flap down" home run trot... and his team lost. Interesting games in San Diego coming up. Darvish shut down that lineup and they will likely see him again in a closeout scenario.

That's keeping in the old Brooklyn tradition, in which the Dodgers were referred to as the Bums.

Not a good look for Dodgers fans.

I want LA to win, but throwing things is uncalled for.

And think about the cost of a beer at the ballpark before you throw a semi-filled can!

I always thought the American fans were as well-behaved as the Japanese ones. Guess I was wrong.

In the NBA fans are often escorted out for yelling personal insults at players.

Great performance by one of the best Japanese pitchers of all time, Yu Darvish.

@Legrande--Do you remember Brandon Laird AKA Sushi Boy who played in NPB for many years? If you can believe wikipedia, before he turned pro, he was arrested at an NBA game along with his grandfather and pro baseball player big brother for arguing with an NBA players wife. That would be some wild footage to track down.

LA fans have long had the reputation for being the worst behaved fans in the league. No surprise to anyone.

Could be worse though; could be English football fans.

Actually, that would be Philadelphia's fans. Their reputation is well-known and a well-deserved one. I went to the Vet many years ago to see if it were true and it was all about booing, being boorish and beating each other up. They even booed Santa Claus! Philly has by far the worst fans in the nation. The cheesesteaks at Geno's were outstanding though.
