    Obnoxious fans can be found wherever alcohol is consumed irresponsibly. Excessive alcohol consumption would make even the pope an obnoxious fan.

      He's probably a Cardinals fan too.

        Of all the NY teams, Yankee fans are the most obnoxious because of their sense of entitlement. They are not worse than Patriots or Penguins fans, however.

          nicely played.
          It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

            NY Rangers fans have them beat. All the obnoxious entitlement of a Yankee fan without the history to back it up.

              Read about it? My family lived it - most of my family is from the area; one set of uncles and great uncles were police officers in the area and worked security for the Cards in that era through the 80s. Back then, they still didn't hold a candle to Philly fans, and nowadays aren't even remotely close to as obnoxious as Red Sox fans, who are the worst, IMO.

                  hmmm ... I didn't expect to see a post from KS in this thread ... I wonder if this is the real Kevin Seitzer or if someone has obtained access to his account somehow ...

                    He shouldn't have made his password Poguism.
                    Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                      LOL! That would be very Luhnow-like since, y'know, it would be different from Poguesism.

                          I think the point was about how aggressively racist St. Louis fans were after integration. but it is true that historians consider the other remarkably racist city to be Philadelphia. Modern fan debates are about different topics, thankfully.

                            Philadelphia fans weren't exceptional in their racism. Philiies manager Eddie Sawyer was.

                              Jeff Luhnow: “I absolutely know about password hygiene and best practices. I’m certainly aware of how important passwords are, as well as of the importance of keeping them updated."

                              NY Times article: "Whoever gained access to the Astros' network tried to take some measures used by experienced hackers to disguise their location. But, law enforcement officials said, the intruders were not adept."

                              “They tried to mask themselves like an experienced hacker and failed,” said a person briefed on the investigation. “It's clear they weren't very good at what they were trying to do.”

                                "The Cardinals have fired scouting director Chris Correa for his role in the Cardinals’ breach of the Astros’ proprietary Ground Control computer network, reports Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Lawyers for the Cardinals tell Goold that Correa had already been on an “imposed leave of absence.”

                                Cardinals GM John Mozeliak, Correa, and Correa’s lawyers all declined to comment, but a source close to the investigation tells Goold that Correa has admitted to illegally accessing Ground Control. Correa, however, has said that his reason for accessing the network was only to attempt to verify that Astros GM Jeff Luhnow had taken%proprietary information from the Cardinals with him to his new post in Houston. According to Goold’s source, Correa did not leak any data to the public and was not responsible for additional entries to the Astros’ network. The FBI is continuing its investigation into other members of the organization, and it seems likely that others are involved, if Correa has been determined to have accessed Ground Control only one time without leaking any of the data."
                                Cardinals scouting director Chris Correa has been fired for his role in the Astros' computer breach. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.
