It seems to happen in those places when fans think their team is getting screwed. Why did they think they were getting screwed last night? Because the call made no sense without watching the replay and it was a huge game and is a huge series. Yankees fans aren't the worst because a few idiots in the crowd threw baseballs on the field. Yankees fans are the worst because they are, by and large, arrogant because our team wins so much.

Its about passion, not the locale.
I saw two Detroit business looking guys trying to pick a fight with a Laker fan in the Executive club at the Palace during the finals. On the other hand, when the Tigers were good I remember vocal fans for the other team getting some serious shit at Tiger stadium. When the Tigers were good if you came into Tiger stadium wearing a Yankee's or Sox jersey, you would at least get drenched in beer. Right now a Yankee fan could probably go into Tiger Stadium and throw balls at OUR players and no one would care.
