It seems ironic that a Yankee fan should be calling for civility, but the rudest, most unpleasant fan experience I had was at Camden Yards for a Mets-Birds game. One old lady apologized for the behavior of her Oriole fan brethren and complimented the Mets fans in attendance on their good behavior. I know some of our group encountered unwarranted hostility at the Nats game last summer too. Maybe sports fans in the Washington-Baltimore area are just particularly obnoxious?
