More and more, I'm seeing photos of beer snakes being formed at our ballpark, hearing random chants from the bleachers and even hearing of opposing home-run balls being thrown back. I'd say this only is happening in the bleachers, but I saw a beer snake being formed on the first-base side during the last game I went to. Pretty soon, the wave will become commonplace if it hasn't already (and yes, I know there have been waves at our park for years).
I understand people need to let loose after being cooped up for a year. I also understand that team success will draw more people, which increases the chances of people not so serious about watching baseball coming to the ballpark. But at this rate, it's only a matter of time before our stadium becomes a Wrigley clone. We pride ourselves in not being Cubs fans, and yet, people at our games are behaving like Cubs fans. Is anyone else noticing this?
