I went to 2006 Opening Day Cards/Phillies game and I was curious to see in person whether there was any truth to the perceptions. Right field was full of A-holes who made not only baseball "stupid" comments, but just ragging to rag. In my section alone I saw two fans ejected. One guy's girlfriend unrelated to the ejections became upset, and he said "This is what we do here."
That said, the majority of the fans were families like everywhere else. The difference is the level of aholishness that permeates throughout the stands in about a 1/3 of each section. I walked around the stadium the last 3 innings and it wasn't much different anywhere...although certainly stronger in right field. Of course Rolen was ripping them a new one that game which had to sting their tender manginas.
