I’d like to preface this story by saying I’m a diehard Cleveland Indians fan. I’ve been to Yankee Stadium to watch the Tribe play, and when I went I wore my C hat and my jersey with a big red “INDIANS” across the front. When the Tribe scored, I cheered. When the Yankees scored, I booed. At no point was beer thrown on me, and at no point was I kicked in the face and knocked over multiple rows of steps.
Here’s my theory: I am not a dumb asshole. Also, I like a team that never wins.
Per the fine cats at Deadspin:
Things heat up around the 1:15 mark when alleged Red Sox fan punches someone and a regular slobber knocker ensues. Alleged Red Sox fan clearly got the worst of it as she took a boot to the face and tumbled back over the seats. Tipster Dave informs us that Alleged Red Sox fan was taking abuse most of the day and eventually had enough. This is the result.
Please enjoy that result, which lands somewhere between “tandem skydiving” and “being elbow-deep in Kate Upton” on the list of great (and somehow horrible) moments of which I’ll never be a part:
Like you might’ve expected, everyone in this video is a douchebag. The Red Sox fan who gets KO’d, the bundled up Yankees fan who exacerbates things with a beer shower, the guy chanting LET THEM FIGHT because “stop being drunk and be normal people” is hard to chant and the cameraman’s predictable “heh, this is going on YouTube!” And me, I guess, for sharing it here when it got there.
If you’re among the thousands who feel drunken crowd fights give the game a black eye, here are two important things to remember:
1. These are Yankees and Red Sox fans (“fans”), without these black eyes they don’t have an identity.
2. Baseball gives itself a million little black eyes every day. Example: Bruce Chen trying to pick off Denard Span ten times in one at-bat. (via Big League Stew)
I’d want to kick somebody in the face if I’d paid to watch that.

It probably didn’t help much that she was wearing Red Sox gear at a Yankees/Tigers game too.
Since this site can’t go 5 minutes without something professional wrestling related these days. SWEET CHIN MUSIC SWEET CHIN MUSIC FROM OUT OF NOWHERE BAHGAWD HOW DID SHE DO IT!!!!!!!!

If you need to go this route, at least get it right and drop a “Stone Cold! Stone Cold!” There’s violence against women and someone got beer dumped on them. How easy can we make this?
She did look like Drunk Hawk falling off of the Titantron.
*watches video*
So, “slobber knocker” DOESN’T mean a blow job?
Man kicks a woman in the face and doesn’t feel bad about it. Yeah, I’ll stick to living in the south….
It were a woman done did the kicking.
She was pretty handsome.
Left footed and she gave it a nice snap!
/never ever fight with someone at a stadium in the rows above you, fight the people in the rows below you.
//It’s over Anakin, I have the high ground!
…This video taught me the proper way to spell “Teixeira”.
I would never dump beer on anyone at a game. It’s just too expensive.
Blame it on the beer–I was at a Yankees/Red Sox game years at Yankee Stadium; there was one chick dressed in full Red Sox gear amid a sea of Yankees fans–they teased her mercilessly, but she gave as good as she got and everyone was happy. No fights, no security necessary. Stupid drunk “fans” ruin it for everyone.
*sigh* Even the Drunk Red Sox fan jobbed to the Brogue Kick longer than my boy D Bry.
I hope the guys at KSK will tie this video into a Tawmmy from Quinzee post.
Where was security in all of this? David Otunga could make a killing off this case.
I kept waiting for a drunk 48 year old blonde male in a sleeveless t-shirt to stumble out and start hitting everyone with a Kendo stick.
I watched that for 2:28 and kept waiting for the goddamn meteor.
Firstly the security guard standing in the background should absolutely be fired for not stopping the dumb drunk Sox fan when she left her section. His job is to stop things like this before they escalate.
Secondly as opposed as I am to hitting women (because I’m not a complete shithead) women shouldn’t use the fact that most men won’t (And shouldn’t) hit them as an excuse to jump in a guy’s face and try to act tough. She absolutely deserved anything she got after throwing the first punch (at least that I could see) in a crowd full of drunks who hate her though. And I mean anything she got, if she’d tumbled over the railing and fell to her death it would have still been her fault. What a fucking moron.
Which should have been obvious as she is a Red Sox fan. And they’re universally dumb pieces of shit.
You’re a moron…no one deserves death as the result of a fight. And as much as you’d like to think it would’ve been her fault a court would not see it that way.
Come out to L.A. and see how the Mexicans handle things. Usually, 4 or 5 of them jump on one and kick the living crud out him. I guess it makes them feel like men. Oh and by the way, Mexicans don’t throw beer, they throw pennies and batteries. Good times!
That woman that fell back and almost cracked her head open could’ve died. That woman who kicked her would be in jail for it, for a Long Long time. Please, idiots, stop fighting in the name of sports.
