I'm happy th...Thank you for sharing your story. I'm happy that you did and I've deeply saddened myself by this entire episode. I grew up in the bay area as a Dodgers fan and let me tell you that I've encountered a great deal of fear and attack at Candlestick over the years, and this was as a 12 yr old with just his Mom taking him to the game. My mother and I were spit on, had food and other things thrown at us at a constant and steady pace, and were just generally hated by people. It infuriated me, not because they were attacking me but because my dear mother had to be the recipient of all of it too. <br /><br />It reached a point where I gave up and quit going to games at Candlestick all together! <br /><br />I remember many Dodgers fans getting attacked, all the windows bashed in on cars that carried anything related to the Dodgers like stickers on them, and I can recall at least one murder of a Dodgers fan after a game. It was the mid 80s and fan violence was not a big topic of discussion. I carried a great deal of animosity for anything to do with the Giants for the next 15+ years. <br /><br />I guess the point I've wanted to make was that Dodger Stadium and Dodgers fans are not the only culprits of fan violence and that its been happening for a VERY long time, as evident by your story as well. I'm extremely impressed by the cooperation and efforts of both Dodgers and Giants and their respective fans. And I'm glad that bloggers, media, and organizations have finally rallied around the cause and efforts to donate to the victim's family. This is a dark time in baseball and humanity. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and with everyone who has ever been a victim of fan violence.Christina Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02579130650175322001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969719124137500057.post-61580031651081103932011-04-08T17:36:00.491-07:002011-04-08T17:36:00.491-07:00Thank you for writing and sharing this - what a gr...Thank you for writing and sharing this - what a great way to put things into perspective. I'm sorry to your son and I'm sad for Tim's family. My hope is that with all the people involved in hearing these stories that we can touch lives and make this world a better place. Sounds cliche, but it's amazing how many wonderful people have already stepped forward... We can all do our part in stopping violence - ON ALL ACCOUNTS!Christel M.
