Lest I be accused of favoritism toward my home town, the Chicago Cubs's Bleacher Bums are also notorious for their immature behavior. They threw crutches at the Reds' Pete Rose and pennies at ex-Cardinal outfielder Lou Brock. One fan even poured beer on Roger Maris, then of the Cards, as he prepared to catch a fly against the wall...

Fortunately it was pitch black, so that Padre Ray was unable...
